Between 1961 and 1970, Greaves made 379 appearances for Tottenham and scored 266 goals.
In his 417th game for Spurs after making his Spurs debut in 2011, Kane overtook the England World Cup champion.
Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville claimed on Sky Sports that Harry Kane is “pure gold.” “That man made history at this club,” was said.
On BBC Radio 5 Live, former Premier League striker Glenn Murray remarked, “What a moment for Harry Kane and these Tottenham fans.” to be able to perform it in front of everyone present at his home stadium.
The opportunity to become the all-time leading scorer for Tottenham Hotspur was “a special experience that he will never ever forget.” He was clearly waving to the box containing his family.
“Now that he’s done it, he needs to really go forward and claim that record for himself.”
After Shearer and Wayne Rooney, Kane is the third player to reach 200 goals in the Premier League. Having played 304 games, the 29-year-old took fewer games than the former strikers to attain the milestone.

Kane, who is prolific for both his country and his club, is tied with Manchester United icon Rooney for the most goals scored in England. He has a total of 80 appearances and 53 goals.
With 19 goals across all competitions this season, Kane is having another fruitful campaign in north London. Prior to the match against Manchester City, Tottenham was ranked fifth in the Premier League.
