How many goals Jimmy Greaves scored for Tottenham as Harry Kane scores again vs Everton

Harry Kane racks up records every other week.

Or at least it seems that way.

Kane is a goalscoring phenomenon for Tottenham, but there is one record he does not have yet, although it is one he is gradually chasing down, game by game.

And that is the record of becoming Tottenham's all-time top goalscorer.

That honour still belongs to England World Cup winner Jimmy Greaves.

But how many does he have? And how close is Kane to beating that record?

Greaves played for Tottenham from 1961 to 1970 and in that time racked up an impressive strike record. In 379 appearances for Spurs, Greaves notched a whopping 266 goals.

Of those 220 came in league matches, with 37 in the cup competitions and nine in European matches.

During his time with Spurs, Greaves won the FA Cup twice and also the European Cup Winners' Cup, which is now defunct.

With a goal against Everton in a thrilling FA Cup clash at Goodison Park, Kane moved into second place on his won in the list of all-time top Tottenham scorers, moving one ahead of Bobby Smith with 209 goals.

Those goals have come from 318 appearances and given his rate of scoring this season it will not take him long to chase it down.
