Spurs Heroes - Print signed by Pat Jennings and Jimmy Greaves
Patrick Anthony Jennings signed for Tottenham at the age of 19 and although his arrival at White Hart Lane generated few headlines or fanfare, he was to become arguably the greatest goalkeeper in the club's history.
The Northern Irish legend spent 13 distinguished years at Spurs, amassing an incredible 472 league appearances for the Lilywhites - and 591 in all competitions - and during his reign as the club's undisputed number one keeper, Tottenham won the 1967 FA Cup, the 1971 and 1973 League Cup and the 1972 FA Cup.
His eye-catching performances in goal were recognised in 1973 when he was named the Football Writers' Association Football of the Year and three years later he won the Professional Footballers' Association version of the award. After his retirement, he was also awarded the MBE and OBE for his services to football.
Famed for the size of his hands, Jennings joined the exclusive club of goalkeepers who have scored a goal in a professional match when his punt in the 1967 Charity Shield at Wembley embarrassed his Manchester United counterpart Alex Stepney and found the back of the net but the amiable Irishman will forever be remembered by Spurs fans as the rock in goal during one of the club's golden eras.
One of the most naturally gifted and prolific strikers of any era, Jimmy Greaves was born to score goals and in an iconic career that spanned three glorious decades, that is exactly what he did with an unerring regularity for club and country.
Greaves was simply sensational in front of goal and from the moment he marked his debut for Chelsea as a 17-year-old in 1957 with a goal, it was obvious he was destined for great things. He spent four seasons at Stamford Bridge and scored an incredible 124 times in just 157 appearances.
It was, however, in the famous white of Tottenham Hotspur that he was to truly establish himself as one of the game's greats. Signed by Bill Nicholson in 1961 after a brief and unhappy sojourn in Italy with AC Milan, Greaves found his spiritual home at White Hart Lane and his arrival in north London was the beginning of a nine-year love affair between the player and the club.
The striker lit up the old First Division with Spurs, finishing the league's top scorer in four separate seasons and his goals helped the club to lift the FA Cup in 1962 and 1967. In 1963, he was part of the Tottenham team who became the first British side to lift a European trophy after they famously beat Atletico Madrid 5-1 in the final of the Cup Winners' Cup.
He left Spurs aged 30 in 1970 having rewritten the club's record books. In total, he scored a breathtaking 266 goals in 379 games for the Lilywhites and is still widely regarded as the greatest striker in Tottenham's illustrious history.
Greaves was even more prolific in the white of England. He marked his international debut against Peru in 1959 with a goal and over the next eight years he played times for his country and scored 44 times. He is third on the all-time England goalscorers list behind Bobby Charlton and Gary Lineker but his goals per game ratio remains superior to both.
Injury robbed him of the chance to play in the 1966 World Cup final but his impact on the international stage was undimmed by the cruel twist of fate and he will forever be remembered as one of England's greatest ever strikers.
