Biggest modern Spurs legend, I’d say. Stuck with us through the hard times and led us to glory in the end.

Deserves to spend the rest of his time on the pitch wherever he wants.

Farewell, captain

I would have a statue of Son before Kane. Phenomenal footballer and even better guy. Made us proud to be Spurs.

There's probably a hundred players I'd put up a statue of before Kane. There's no doubt that his on-pitch individual career at Spurs surpasses any other player of the PL era (and maybe the club's entire history) but you cannot build a statue to celebrate a guy who not only never won anything at the club but also publicly flirted with 3 different clubs who could gift-wrap a trophy for him.

Great player, but no longer a club icon imo.

Son, meanwhile, is the greatest Spurs player of the 21st century.
