Their goals galore on the latest voting shortlist for players to be inducted into the Premier League's Hall of Fame with Spurs goalscoring trio Jermain Defoe, Teddy Sheringham and Les Ferdinand all in contention.

Fifteen legends are up in total for just two places in the Hall of Fame, with a public vote now open...

A Spurs fan, Les joined us from Newcastle United in the summer of 1997 and spent a total of 12 years here, six as a player from 1997-2003, six in coaching roles, 2008-2014. Laid low by injuries during his playing spell, he scored 39 goals in 149 appearances for us. He scored 149 goals in the Premier League in spells at QPR, Newcastle, West Ham, Leicester, Bolton, Reading and Watford, including 41 in 68 appearances as Newcastle twice challenged for the title, 1995-97.

While Teddy joined us first in 1992 and went on to claim the Premier's Golden Boot in the competition's inaugural season (1992/93). Over the course of two spells at the Club (1992-97 and 2001-03), he scored 124 goals for us in all competitions and scored 146 career goals in the Premier League.
