Ledley King inducted into our Hall of Fame

Famously a one-club man, Ledley graduated from our Academy to captain the team to League Cup success in 2008 and then qualifying for the UEFA Champions League for the first time in 2010.

Ledley made his debut at Anfield in 1999 and went on to make 323 appearances in all competitions before enduring injury issues finally forced his retirement in 2012.

One of the best central defenders of the modern era, it's widely accepted that Ledley would have added to his 16 England caps without having to manage a chronic knee injury over a number of years.

Thierry Henry described him as one of his toughest opponents - the pair fought out a great duel, England vs France, at Euro 2004 - and six years later, Ledley's form as we finished fourth in the Premier League earned a call into England 2010 World Cup squad.

After retirement, Ledley was named Club Ambassador in 2012, a role he's proudly held for 14 years, working alongside Spurs in the Community and engaging with Spurs fans all over the world.

Popular as ever, Ledley was the subject of the first Legend street mural to appear in N17, designed by MurWalls, at Tottenham Community Centre in 2022 and, over 14 years since he last pulled on the Lilywhite shirt, fans still sing his 'Oh Ledley Ledley...' song on 26 minutes of every game.

Congratulations, Ledley, on this huge and much-deserved honour.
