Time At Spurs: 2004-2008, 2009-2014. Games For Spurs: 363. Goals For Spurs: 143. Why Spurs let Jermain Defoe go in the first place will remain a mystery to everyone for some time. The diminutive England striker was part of a strikeforce quartet that included existing Spurs players Emmanuel Adebayor, Roberto Soldado and Harry Kane - none of which were exactly firing on all cylinders at the time of Defoe's departure - and yet they let him leave for MLS with Toronto FC earlier this year. Defoe looks like he's going to score every time he's on the pitch. He always looks hungry for goals, always creates chances and always looks like he's a threat - how they could do with that kind of presence up top at the moment. In his two spells at White Hart Lane, he was the club's top scorer twice. Overall, he is the club's fifth top scorer of all time and the club's top scorer of all time in European competitions. At the age of 31 when he left, was still as fit as he ever was and Spurs will be wishing they never sold him.
