Tottenham legend and former captain Ledley King gets on the scoresheet in his own testimonial! 🤍Younes Kaboul and Michael Dawson bring him down, but King has the final say by scoring for Ledley XI in a memorable moment! 🐐🔥 #THFC

Big big congratulations to a very very special player... Harry Kane. Thoroughly deserved. Just a goal scorer? Oh no. Much much more than that. What a wonderful player... what a wonderful man!

Huge congratulations to Harry Kane on winning the Ballon d’Or. We’ll always be grateful for what he gave Spurs, both on and off the pitch. His support for Proud Lilywhites and the LGBTQI+ community has meant so much. He's One Of Our Own!
