Over the years, Tottenham’s academy has produced some of the finest talents to ever grace English football, including the likes of Glenn Hoddle, Ledley King and Greame Souness – not to mention the England national team’s latest hero Harry Kane.

Jonathan Blondel is a shout – slipped my mind in all honesty. Didn’t include Dos Santos because he’s gone on to have a good career since leaving Spurs.
