'Beat my 49? If anyone can, Harry can' - Clive Allen

Clive scored 49 goals in 54 appearances in 1986-87. It remains the best goal tally for a single season in the Club’s history, toppling the 42 achieved by two greats - Jimmy Greaves in 1962-63* and Martin Chivers in 1971-72.

It’s a total that surely can never be beaten. Or can it? Harry Kane racked up 35 goals in 2016-17 after an incredible second half to the season. His 35 goals came in 38 appearances in all competitions, including eight goals and two hat-tricks in the final week to secure the Golden Boot, having missed a number of games (eight in the Premier League) due to two spells on the sidelines injured.
