harry kane He became Tottenham’s record goal scorer on Sunday when he scored his 267th goal for the club against Manchester City. The England captain scored the opening goal against the Premier League champions to surpass Jimmy Greaves, who scored 266 goals for Spurs between 1961 and 1970. The 29-year-old is also now only the third player to score 200 Premier League goals. Afterwards Allen Shearer (260) and Wayne Rooney (208).
Kane is now equal with Wayne Rooney as England’s joint-record goalscorer after the World Cup quarter-final loss against France in December.
However, despite his heroics for club and country, Kane is yet to win a major trophy in his career.
Greaves, who died in 2021 at the age of 81, is regarded as the most natural goal scorer in football history.
A member of England’s 1966 World Cup-winning team, who netted 44 times for his country, Greaves is the highest scorer in English top-flight history with 357 goals.
