Tottenham Hotspur have announced that one of the club’s biggest legends and most celebrated captains of the modern era has become the latest to enter the Hall of Fame.Last week, Tottenham announced plans to relaunch their Hall of Fame, with the initiative being first launched in 2004 and paused later in 2017 when White Hart Lane was demolished.45 Spurs legends had already been inducted into the Hall of Fame, and they have been joined by three more legends in recent days.On Monday, it was announced that Chris Hughton and Tottenham’s first captain Bobby Buckle have been inducted into the Hall of Fame, and the pair have now been joined in the exclusive club by a modern-day legend.First Tottenham legends in March 2004Bill NicholsonBill BrownPeter BakerRon HenryDanny BlanchflowerMaurice NormanDave MackayCliff JonesJohn WhiteBobby SmithLes AllenTerry DysonTerry MedwinMay 2004Keith BurkinshawOctober 2004Pat JenningsTottenham Hall of Fame induction March 2005Gary MabbuttMay 2005Alan MulleryNovember 2005Gary LinekerMarch 2006Martin PetersDecember 2006Glenn HoddleApril 2007Martin ChiversFebruary 2008Ossie ArdilesRicky VillaMay 2008Clive AllenTeddy SheringhamDecember 2008David GinolaFebruary 2009Paul AllenChris WaddleDecember 2009Darren AndertonSteffen FreundMay 2010Phil BealRalph CoatesJohn PrattDecember 2013Mike EnglandAlan GilzeanNovember 2014Ray ClemencePosthumous Tottenham Hall of Fame inductionsJimmy DimmockArthur GrimsdellWillie HallTed DitchburnRon BurgessOctober 2015Graham RobertsPaul MillerApril 2016Jimmy GreavesSteve PerrymanTottenham’s most recent Hall of Fame inductees in September 2026Chris HughtonBobby BuckleLedley KingCredit: @AlfieNicholsonJournalismLedley King becomes latest entrant into Tottenham’s Hall of FameSpurs have announced that former club captain and one of the club’s best-ever centre-backs, Ledley King, has become the 48th player to make it into the Hall of Fame.The defender came through the Tottenham academy and made his debut at Anfield in 1999, and would go on to make 323 appearances for the Lilywhites.King was a one-club man until the end, and his career was cut short at the age of just 31, with his knee problems forcing him into an early retirement in 2012.The centre-back captained the team to the 2008 League Cup and played a key role in the club’s qualification for the Champions League for the first time in 2010.After retirement, King was named Club Ambassador, a role he has held since, and he even briefly worked as part of Tottenham’s coaching staff under Jose MourinhoThe ultimate one-club man. From Academy graduate to trophy-winning captain. 14 years as an Ambassador for our Club.Ledley King is the latest inductee into our re-launched Hall of Fame 🤍🔗 https://t.co/T0pJ6bwJL0 pic.twitter.com/l4qRIIEZJf— Tottenham Hotspur (@SpursOfficial) September 8, 2026King was one of the most naturally talented defenders in Premier League historyThe players who played alongside and against King regularly name him as one of the best centre-backs they have witnessed.That includes Arsenal legend Thierry Henry, who famously said that the former Tottenham man was the only defender who could cleanly win the ball from him without fouling or shirt pulling (SPORTbible).King’s knee issues meant that he barely trained during the latter part of his career, and if not for his injury problems, the former Spurs captain would have got more than the 16 England caps he won through his career.READ MORE: Sebastien Bassong says his ‘favourite’ Tottenham player will add ‘flair’ and ‘quality’The post Tottenham’s modern-day hero becomes 48th player inducted into Hall of Fame appeared first on Spurs Web.
