What other players fit this bill?
Le Tissier is another that springs to mind, any more? |  |

A life long Spurs fan who has wanted their scoring record since he was little. He'll pass that this season, he can then leave having cemented his name in Spurs history and then win trophies at another club |  | | |

I think that the advance of the market economy in football has meant that there are few like Kane whereas in the era of the wage cap there was less incentive for players to move about. So, for example, the 1953 F.A. Cup final was known as the Matthews final (although by common consent he was not MoM ) just because he was 38 and his time had seemed to have passed him by without medals. But I think if you checked out the football annuals of the 1950s and 60s there would be a fair few "greats" who retired medal-less. |
Just had a trawl on some of the websites declaring the greatest footballers who never won anything - some pretty localised definitions of "great", including: Rob Lee and Clive Allen, although I would allow Johnny Haynes and Tom Finney (by reputation, anyway).
Apparently Socrates didn't win anything - but then I don't think Plato or Aristotle did either. |  |

I've found it a little strange how Sky have been banging on about Kane passing Greaves' Spurs record, when they usually airbrush Geaves out of history completely when they talk about the Premier League top scorers (yes I know he didn't play in the PL but they do the old 'pre-1992 doesn't exist' trick all the time). | | | |

Shearer always says he was happy playing for his boyhood club. However, he must surely always think 'What if' he chose Man united instead.
I dread to think how many more goals he would have scored with Beckham, Giggs et al providing him service. |
He only says that because he won the Prem in 1995. Had Blackburn finished 2nd almost certain he would've joined Man U. | |

An interesting article in the Athletic the other day saying how 5 of the current big 6 have had their all time goalscoring records broken recently (or about to be)
Henry, Aguero, Lampard, Rooney, Kane
But that in the rest of the 92 the records are so longstanding (bar MK) because players don't stay long enough at smaller clubs now - they either do really well and move on, or don't do well enough to break record even if they stay there for career (e.g. Gabby Agbonlahor at Villa)
Notable exception was Ian Henderson who has just broken Rochdale's record in his second spell there |  |

Such an overused stick to beat great players with (not saying you are). Shearer won a PL but is better known for scoring 260 goals.
How many bang average or crap squad players have won premier leagues and FA Cups?
I hope he stays at Tottenham and becomes a legend, albeit he probably is already. He'll have more of a legacy doing that than if he goes to a team already winning titles and gets a couple of medals. |  |

The era of the wage cap produced many long-standing record club goalscorers. A liitle later, after the cap was removed, such as our own Ray Crawford would have easily raised our own all-time scoring record from 200 to 250 had his absent three years not coincided with the three potentially best of his career (aged 27-30) spent playing where the money was better. | |

I know Shearer won 1 PL with Blackburn but he's in a similar position, he could have won far more if he decided to go elsewhere.
Kane will probably end up taking his record as the highest goal scorer in PL history as well. |
Shearer went to Blackburn at a time when they were blowing away all other clubs in terms of transfer outlay. At the time, Man U hadn’t won the league for 25 years and so it’s easy to understand why Shearer went there.
I’m pretty sure that Blackburn refused to sell him to Man U - this at a time when player power wasn’t as extensive. Or I could be totally wrong about this. |  | | |

Wembley medal, innit. :)
Although saying that, Kane was on loan at Norwich at one point, so presumably he has a 'participants'' medal lying around somewhere... |
Whilst you jest. Didn't they have a picture of kane and use it to say players they had at the world cup... |  |

Tottenham are still in the CL. They could win that. |

Was it shearer that had the first ever 'club' release clause in it... where basically Newcastle were the only club that shearer would automatically be entitled to move too. | |

I always think of Steve Bull for Wolves.
He got picked for England whilst playing for them in the then third division (that’s currently our level!) Played only one game in the top flight in the end despite having plenty of teams after him. |  |

I wonder if he ever regrets not moving to a top tier team when in his prime?
Probably not as he seemed to value happiness over ambition. | | | |

Robin van Persie never won a trophy either, apparently, which I found surprising. |
The same Robin van Persie who moved to Man Utd and immediately won the league? |  |

Rodney Marsh or Frank Worthngton. Brilliant players - did either of them ever win anything? |  |

I think you're correct. Marsh himself was quotes as saying:
"I have to hold my hands up — I cost Manchester City the 1972 league championship" - this after his selection had forced a change of style from Allison.
Think you could add Tony Currie to that list too.. | |

James Ward-Prowse of Southampton, has been in this conversation recently. Surprised a bigger club than Southampton, have never taken a punt on him.. |  | | |
