Tottenham Hotspur have had some absolutely lethal finishers among their ranks throughout their illustrious history, with legends of the game such as Gary Lineker and Gareth Bale spearheading the Lilywhites attack.

The North London side have almost always had an abundance of attacking talent in their team, with 19 players notching over 100 goals for the club since their formation in 1882. So while the trophies have dried up for the Lilywhites, the goals certainly haven't.

1968-1976 367 174 0.47

As the successor of legendary striker Jimmy Greaves, Martin Chivers had big boots to fill in the Spurs side, and the young striker proved to be one of the most prolific finishers in Tottenham's history.

Chivers netted 174 times for the Lilywhites in his eight years at the club, and helped the side to win two League Cups and one UEFA Cup in the 70’s. In the 1971/72 season he hit his best form scoring 44 times in 64 first team appearances, including two goals against Wolverhampton Wanderers to win the UEFA Cup.

The Southampton born talisman was a big game player for Spurs, and scored a number of crucial goals in domestic and European cup wins for the North London club.

In his last years at Tottenham, he was plagued by injuries and struggled to find the net in a relatively poor Spurs side, before departing to Swiss team Servette in 1976.

Chivers left Tottenham as a club legend, and remained as the clubs leading European goal scorer for 39 years, until 2013.

3. Bobby Smith

1955-1964 317 208 0.66

Bobby Smith was described by many as the classic “old fashioned” forward. The frontman scored 208 times for the Lilywhites in his nine-year tenure with the club.

Smith formed one of the most feared strike partnerships in club football history alongside Jimmy Greaves, and was most notably the club's top scorer in their famous double winning season of 1960/61, scoring 33 times in 43 games.

As the spearhead of Tottenham’s attack in their “glory glory” years, Smith helped the club to win 6 major honours, including FA Cups, League Titles and a UEFA Cup.

He was known for his footwork, finishing and ability to psychologically beat his opponents. The Englishman transferred to Brighton in 1964 after nine years and 317 appearances with the club.

2. Jimmy Greaves

1961-1970 379 266 0.70

As Tottenham’s second highest scorer (266), English topflight football's highest ever scorer (357) and England's fifth highest international scorer (44), Jimmy Greaves is arguably the greatest English player of all time.

Greaves has scored more international hat tricks (six) than any other player in history, and won the Division One Golden Boot on six occasions. The striker finished third in the 1963 Ballon D’or and was inducted into the English Football Hall of Fame in 2002.

Greaves joined Spurs for a fee of £99,999 in 1961 just after the club's historic double winning season, and played a crucial part of Bill Nicholson's super Spurs side of the 60’s.

In 1962 he scored the first goal in the final to help Tottenham win back-to-back FA Cups in his first season with the club. The talisman later scored a brace in Tottenham’s 5-1 thrashing of Atletico Madrid to become the first British team ever to win a European Cup.

Greaves helped Tottenham to win six major honours in his time with the club as well as winning the 1966 World Cup with England. He departed Tottenham in 1971 as the club's all-time top scorer and with the record for most hat tricks (15).

1. Harry Kane

Regarded as one of the best strikers in the world and arguably the best in Spurs history, the England captain is a prolific goal scorer known for his deadly finishing, pinpoint accuracy and fantastic link play.

Kane commanded the Lilywhites attack from 2013 until the end of the 2022/2023 season, before his departure to Bayern Munich. He has broke multiple league records as well as winning three Premier League Golden Boot awards and numerous other individual accolades.

In 2017 Kane was the world's top scorer in a calendar year, netting 56 times and beating players such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. The striker is on track to end his career as the English national team's all-time top scorer.

Harry Kane surpassed the great Jimmy Greaves as Tottenham’s top goal scorer with an emphatic finish against title rivals Manchester City on the 5th of Feb 2023.

At the start of the 2023/2024 Premier League season Harry Kane took on a new challenge at the Bundesliga League giants Bayern Munich.

Since Ange Postecoglou's arrival Tottenham in 2023, Tottenham have brought themselves back into the fight for major silverware, finishing 5th in the Premier League and securing European Football opportunities for the 2024/2025 season.
