Our Academy graduate and our all-time leading goalscorer, Harry Kane, has won the 2026 Ballon d'Or.

In a ceremony in London this evening (Monday 26 October), Harry, who came through our Academy ranks before breaking Jimmy Greaves' long-standing goalscoring record for the Club, has been named the world's greatest footballer.

Scoring a record 280 goals for us in 435 appearances, Harry joined our Academy back in 2009 before signing his first professional contract the following year as his journey to becoming a true Tottenham great began.

Perhaps his greatest moment in a Spurs shirt came in 2023 though as he broke a record no one associated with the Club ever thought was going to be broken - Jimmy Greaves' all-time goalscoring record of 266 goals.

Yet, Harry was going to be the man to do it. He was always going to be the man to do it. Determined and ambitious, unrelenting but ever humble, Harry worked, and worked and worked to succeed, so perhaps there was no player better befitting of breaking that record. One of our Own, Harry Kane.

Scoring goal number 267 for us in a 1-0 win over Manchester City in February, 2023, he went on to score a further 13 goals for us before departing for FC Bayern in the summer.

He has continued to find success with FC Bayern, breaking record after record after record in Bavaria and now has the greatest individual honour any footballer can aspire to achieve. Recognised by his peers as the greatest footballer in the world with the Ballon d'Or trophy.

As our first Academy graduate that has gone on to win the award, we could not be prouder.

Congratulations, H.
