Just thinking about it this morning, with Harry Kane breaking Tottenham's all-time goalscoring record, but which club records do you think could conceivably be broken in the future?

I don't think there's a chance of the appearance record (Tim Williamson - 602 games) or goal record (George Camsell - 345 goals) ever being broken, as players don't stay at the same club for anywhere near the same amount of time and it's a lot harder to score than it was in the earlier days of football.

That's not a criticism of previous goalscorers, it's just a mathematical fact that there are far fewer goals in games than 50-60+ years ago.

Most of the "records" tend to be Riverside era etc.
 
Oldest player will probably get broken at some point surely? Athlete's are staying at the top of their game for a long time these days with sports science.

Although ours is pretty high already with Dimi at 40 years and 68 days.

Aye that’s gonna be a tough one to break I’d say
 
I think there's a chance that Nathan Wood's youngest player record could be broken, even though it's a fairly recent one.

We're seeing multiple 15 year olds playing for clubs in cup matches in recent years.

Most Expensive signing - £15m Britt. That will definitely be broken.

Maybe even next season when we're rolling in it after the PL payments :sneaky:

most expensive doesn’t necessarily translate into.. best.

Five free transfers..
Two loans
and four permanent transfers.

£15m doesn’t get you very far these days.. but we need to be smart.

keeping the gang together will be tough

Most consecutive appearances was David Armstrong 305. I don't think that will ever be broke neither.

I doubt we will even have a GK that will break that, let alone an outfield player.

No, that's not a Hollywood stat or anything, but it's absolutely remarkable. I believe he then went on an strung together another ludicrous number of consecutive appearances with Southampton.
 
Assists is probably a funny one, because it's not something that used to be tracked, and you'd expect the likes of Camsell and Clough were often putting away chances from the same players most weeks.
