Ben Davies became only the fourth player to reach 100 caps for Wales as he led his country out against Belgium on Monday evening.

Signed from Swansea, Ben had 10 caps to his name when he joined us in the summer of 2014. Over 11 years later, he's now only the third player to earn 90 caps for his country during his time at Spurs.

Indeed, 12 players have 50-plus caps during their time here...

Our first World Cup winner, Hugo led France to football's highest honour in 2018, beating Croatia 4-2 in the final in Moscow. Sitting eighth in our all-time appearance list on 447, most Premier League appearances as a Spur (361), the goalkeeper joined us from Lyon in 2012 and spent over 11 years in N17 - the majority as captain - until departing for LAFC in January, 2024.

Our longest serving player in the current squad and just the third to reach 90 caps for his country as a Spur, Ben made his full international debut in 2012 and had 10 to his name when he joined us in 2014. He's in the top 30 of our all-time appearances on 358 and second all-time in Europe, just three short of Harry Kane's 76.

The best goalkeeper in the world in his pomp, Pat earned 119 caps for Northern Ireland and played a huge role in his country qualifying for the World Cup Finals of 1982 - where they famously beat hosts Spain - and 1986, where Pat earned his last cap against Brazil. Signed in 1964, Pat is third in our all-time appearances on 590, topped only by Gary Mabbutt and Steve Perryman. FWA Footballer of the Year in 1973, PFA Players' Player in 1976, nominated three times for the Ballon d'Or, Pat won the FA Cup, two League Cups and the UEFA Cup during his time at Spurs.

A Spurs and Republic of Ireland legend, Robbie remains his country's record goalscorer and appearance maker with 68 goals in 146 caps earned from 1998-2016. He joined us just after his heroics at the 2002 World Cup, where he scored three goals, including 90th-minute equalisers against Germany and Spain. Keano is one of only 18 players to score 100-plus goals for us with 122 in 306 appearances, 2002-2011. One of the all-time greats of the MLS after winning a hat-trick of titles with LA Galaxy, Robbie is now manager of Ferencvaros in Hungary.

Spurs through and through, Chris spent 25 years here initially as a player, then coach and assistant manager. Twice an FA Cup winner, UEFA Cup winner in 1984, Chris earned all but two of his 53 caps for Republic of Ireland as a Spur. What times he had as well - under Jack Charlton, the Republic qualified for Euro 88 and reached the quarter-finals of the 1990 World Cup. Chris has had spells as manager at Newcastle, Norwich, Brighton and Forest and, most recently, took Ghana to the 2023 AFCON tournament.
