Harry Kane completed a clean sweep of Player of the Season awards and Heung-Min Son picked up Goal of the Season as our awards for 2022/23 were presented after our final home match of the campaign against Brentford on Saturday.
Harry was named Player of the Season by One Hotspur Members, One Hotspur Junior Members and our Official Supporters' Clubs, recognition of a campaign where he achieved the double milestone of becoming the Club's and England's all-time record goalscorer.
In February, the striker's winner against champions Manchester City took him past Jimmy Greaves' total of 266, a record that had stood since 1970. A month later, he overtook Wayne Rooney to top England's leading goalscorer chart. He's now on 278 goals in 434 appearances for Spurs and has 55 goals in his 82 England caps.
Records and milestones have tumbled for the Academy graduate and current skipper this season - another followed on Saturday, when he became the first player to score in 25 different matches in a Premier League season. He's now on 211 goals in the Premier League and into second all-time in the competition behind Alan Shearer's 260.
Speaking to stadium host Paul Coyte after receiving his awards, Harry told the fans: "The records are an amazing achievement and something I'm very proud of. It's been a difficult season as a whole, but these memories will never leave me. I said after the Manchester City game that it was a magical moment to score that goal (to break Greavsie's record) in front of our fans. I couldn't have asked for a better way to do it."
Meanwhile, Sonny picked up the Goal of the Season award from our Official Supporters' Clubs for his history-making strike against Brighton. It was a trademark Sonny strike, picking the ball up in the left channel, cutting inside and unleashing a beauty into the top corner from 22 yards. It was a goal worthy of bringing up his century in the Premier League - the first Asian player to do so.
