Tottenham Hotspur have confirmed the next two club legends who have been inducted into the club’s Hall of Fame.
Last week, Tottenham announced plans to relaunch their Hall of Fame on the 144th anniversary of the club after the initiative was paused when White Hart Lane was closed in 2017.
Spurs revealed that following consultations with the Fan Advisory Board, they had decided that there would be four inductees every year: one from the pre-1990 era, one post-1990, a women’s player or manager, and a special recognition for a club figure.
45 legends have been inducted into Tottenham’s Hall of Fame from 2004 to 2017, and the next two have now been announced.

Former Tottenham defender and coach Chris Hughton enters Hall of Fame
Tottenham have confirmed on their official website that former player, assistant coach, and caretaker manager, Chris Hughton, has been inducted into the Hall of Fame.
Hughton, who was a full-back in his playing days, spent 11 years at White Hart Lane as a player from 1970 to 1990, making 398 appearances across all competitions.
In total, he gave the club 25 years of service, serving as a coach and assistant manager on the coaching staff from 1993 to 2007.
Hughton played in seven cup finals during his time as a Tottenham player, being part of the FA Cup-winning teams in 1981 and 1982 and the UEFA Cup-winning side in 1984.
First Spurs captain Bobby Buckle enters Hall of Fame
Alongside Hughton, one of the oldest and most important figures in Tottenham history, Bobby Buckle has also been inducted into the Hall of Fame.
Buckle was the club’s first-ever captain and first known goalscorer, finding the back of the net in Spurs’ 3-1 loss against Grange Park in October 20, 1883.
He also played a crucial role off the pitch, helping the club move to the site which would later come to be known as the famous White Hart Lane, the same site where the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium still sits.
Buckle also proposed in 1895 that the club should turn professional, and he was the director of Spurs when the club became a limited company in 1895.
