Context
- The Hall of Fame re-launch celebrates Tottenham Hotspur’s rich footballing heritage and recognises exceptional contributions throughout the Club’s history
- The Hall of Fame was first launched in 2004, with 45 of the Club’s greatest former players and managers inducted over the next 12 years. Following the closure of White Hart Lane in 2017 and the transition to our new home, the initiative was paused
- The refreshed approach, prompted by discussions with our Fan Advisory Board, is deliberately inclusive, spanning men’s and women’s football, different eras, players, managers and significant off-pitch contributions.
- Our new inductees for 2026 – Bobby Buckle, Chris Hughton, Jenna Schillaci and Ledley King – will receive recognition, alongside tributes to existing inductees and the families of those no longer with us
- The permanent Hall of Fame wall installation gives the programme a visible, enduring presence within the stadium
- Filmed coverage will extend the celebration beyond the room to the wider fanbase
