Heung-Min Son claimed 10th spot on our all-time most appearances list after he played his 436th game for the Club on Thursday evening.
In starting in our 3-2 Europa League win over Hoffenheim, Sonny has now overtaken his good friend and former team-mate Harry Kane (435) and made 10th spot his own in our record appearance makers list.
Our captain then made it a night to remember as he celebrated the landmark appearance with a brace at the PreZero Arena - they were goals seven and eight for the forward just against German sides in our colours.
They also moved him within two of Spurs great Martin Chivers (174) with the South Korean now having scored 172 goals for the Club in all competitions.
Signed from Bayer Leverkusen in August, 2015, our Club Captain Sonny has enjoyed an incredible nine-and-a-half years with us so far.
From bagging a brace on his White Hart Lane debut in a Europa League group stage win over Qarabag in September, 2015, to scoring the first goal at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as we enjoyed a 2-0 win over Crystal Palace on opening night of our world class home in April, 2019, Sonny has produced countless iconic moments in Lilywhite.
A modern day great who is quickly approaching a decade of service for the Club, our number seven went on to claim the Puskas Award in December, 2020, in recognition of his stunning solo strike against Burnley a year earlier before winning the Premier League's Golden Boot in 2021/22.
To date, he has scored 172 goals for us in all competitions making him the fifth greatest goalscorer in our history - as aforementioned, he is just two goals behind the great Martin Chivers (174).
Inside the Premier League's top 20 goalscorers of all-time with 126 goals to his name in the competition, he also holds the record for the most assists for the Club in Premier League history with 68.
