Naar Then!!
Not in the same league as Jimmy!
Harry Kane has finally managed to equal my footballing hero Jimmy Greaves' record of 266 goals for THFC. Only he hasn't really has he. Look at the difference between the number of matches taken and the number of years too.
Jimmy Greaves......Simply the Best!
Greaves, who started his career at Chelsea, scored 266 goals in 379 games for Spurs between 1961 and 1970.
Kane, who made his Spurs debut in 2011, has played 415 times for the club.
The same applies to the number of goals Jimmy scored for England 44 in 57 matches. Wayne Rooney (England's top scorer) with 53 goals took 120 matches to achieve that.
No Contest!!!

Fromage and queso, Graham. Greavsie was lightning over 10 yards and could dribble his way through defences. Kane has more power, tracks back and has top-notch distribution.
As for their stats, you are quite right in that JG had a better strike rate. But goals were easier to come by then. I looked up the goals per game average for the Prem League last season and it was 2.8. In 1962/63 when JG was at his peak it was 3.5.
Plus, of course, teams played 2-3-5 in those days giving lots of opportunity for attackers.
Be happy we saw them both and they were both true Spurs.
