Don't be silly. The way some of you carry on you'd thing Sheringham was tapping up. He's been asked a question and he puts himself in Kane's boots because, as he admits, he doesn't know how Kane thinks. And they both know whatever Teddy says won't influence Harry either way. It's just press.

Sheringham was great for us first time around and his partnership with Klinsmann was among the all-time PL highlights. I understand you're under stress but it's disrespectful to both Teddy and Spurs to call him a c**t. I think you should apologise.
It's very possible for an ex player to be a bit of a pillock. And Teddy sadly is. A lot of United fans don't like Keane for example, or Liverpool Lawro. Now Teddy isn't that level but he could very easily answer this question without showing such a clear lack of respect towards a club where he spent so long and where the fans so revere him.

To be perfectly honest I loved Sheringham the play but have no respect for Sheringham the man. Showing up at West Ham as a Spurs legend who's always claimed to have grown up supporting Spurs and proclaiming himself a lifelong West Ham fan was cringeworthy and he's taken digs at us publicly (including this one) on a few too many occasions. Great player and will always cherish his time with us but he's a bit of a nasty **** in my opinion.

Sheringham was my boyhood hero. Not Klinsmann, not Ginola. It hurts that he doesn't bleed Tottenham. I always believed the move to Utd was justified because of how crap we were and the fact he was old and it was his last shot at glory and when he came back I thought it was because he loved us.

As an adult though I have always said I would never want to meet him as it would shatter the illusion as he is probably a knob.

Anyone I know who has met him says exactly what you fear I'm afraid.

Sorry @boris he is completely disrespectful. He knows the impact a statement like this can have on fans as well as the player. He is literally tapping him up in public. No apology.

German wunderkind Jann Fiete Arp talks of his admiration for Harry Kane and Tottenham Hotspur

The 16-year-old prefers Kane to Ronaldo and Messi.

Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kanehas had a tremendous season for the London club this term.

He has scored 28 goals in 53 games for club and country this season and that has seen him nominated for both the PFA Player and Young Player of the Season awards in the Premier League.

The Spurs star also recently scored for England against Germany and is certainly catching the eye around the globe, not just in England.

Indeed, one German ‘wunderkind’ has been speaking this week about his love of Tottenham and Kane.

Jann-Fiete Arp is a 16-year-old German youth international striker currently contracted to Hamburg SV.

The teenager, who has scored nine goals in 20 games in the B-Junioren Bundesliga this term, is considered one of German football’s top young talents.

But the striker told the DFB website this week that it is English striker Kane that inspires him. He claimed that he prefers to admire the football of Kane over the likes of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo:

“Nah, I'm neither a Messi nor Ronaldo fan. For almost two years I think Tottenham Hotspur are very good and their striker Harry Kane. He worked his way up and out of their own youth, and is now an England international. So he is good as a model.

A friend of mine has always trained in a Hotspur jersey and then we always together looked at the games. Generally, I find that Spurs are a totally likeable club and do in England a good youth work.

“He (Kane) is just a classic shock striker, so I would also like to play. I've been trying to emulate him in some way, because with his style he has at the moment big success.”

It's a strange thing to say, but it's only just sunk in what a beast Harry Kane is

I guess I've been taking him for granted, because it seems like he's been around forever, but he's only 22 and has scored 20+ league goals in two successive seasons. A Spurs player hasn't done that since the 70s!

If Madrid come knocking, it's going to cost them stupid money to get Kane

But let's hope we hold onto all our players, because we've got the making of a scarily good team here!

63 goals for the Lillywhites now and counting...

Overtook Les Allen, John Duncan and Chris Armstrong

His rise up our goalscoring table is truly meteoric

63 in 123 games. That's fantastic. He's already half way to hitting our top 10 in just a couple of seasons of first team football.

Kane is without doubt up there with the best strikers in the world now. We're talking Suarez, Ibra, Aguero, Lewandowski, Muller etc. We've got to take him that seriously for me.

I agree, even though people will say he needs to do it in the CL and for England, you just know that the guys is either world class or on the verge, had the same feeling about Bale when he entered the CL season.

I'm honestly having to struggle to hold back the belief that he is on the verge of being a top five striker in the world right now. I mean why not ? How many strikers in the world have the stamina, strength and sheer work rate he has ? Not many. That gives him a massive boost up the ranks alone. And right now his finishing and all the types of goals he can score is top level. Not to mention his link up play.

NOTE - I always tend to dismiss Messi and Ronaldo as pure STRIKERS in this kind of list.

I saw a tweet that said Kane has scored as many goals as Arsenal have at the Emirates. That can't be right can it?

My mum has loved Kane since the Sherwood season, I think it was more of a mum thing rather than her thinking he was amazing though..

I remember saying to her a few times that season when she talked up Kane that I didn't think he'd ever be our number 1 striker if we were ever going to get back in the top 4.. I was so wrong..

I'm not sure if I'm the only one or not but I genuinely didn't think he had it in him to be this good, it didn't even cross my mind. Now there's honestly not an out and out centre forward in the world I'd swap for him. Even if he was from Spain and we'd bought him last year I'd still think the same, the fact he's clearly a good guy and a Spurs fan just adds to it..
