History was made today at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Harry Edward Kane, MBE, scored at home against Manchester City in the 15th minute to break a record that most people likely thought would never be broken — the late Jimmy Greaves’ record of 266 goals scored for Tottenham Hotspur. Kane’s goal put him ahead of Greaves with 267 and put him into the history books as one of, if not the, greatest player in the history of Tottenham Hotspur. That goal was also his 200th in the Premier league.

This is player regularly dismissed by opposition fans as a “one season wonder.” A player that this blog, when he was still in the academy, hoped would be as good as Steven Fletcher. He’s just eclipsed one of the great records in football and has another one — Alan Shearer’s all-time Premier League goals record of 260 — in his sights.

There are open questions about Harry’s future, but he’s still one of our own. Congratulations Harry Kane!
