You know whats interesting? that Spur not succeed in winning. It is a never-ending source of rich funny content. It’s not really funny, whether it’s from manufacturers as varied as Dulux Paint and Domino’s Pizza, which are raking in the chuckles and sweet, sweet enjoys on social media, or us taking the piss. You know the quick fix for ( almost ) any player trying to escape trophy-dodging purgatory, though. Left.
In many, many cases that leads to trophies. Occasionally, there are many prizes. Some players are not always overly profoundly Spurs-infected, though. Harry Kane, most famouslyand surely even he is going to escape the potless parade soon. For most people, leaving Spurs will solve the prize curse immediately and without much effort. Look at the players below, who have all won significant prizes since playing a significant role in the Spurs dryness, whether it be Champions League victories or Canadian Cup victories. Any first-tier prize from any nation plus western and international team titles won after making a permanent shift away from Spur are allowed, but those who were there for the 2008 Carling Cup win are exempt according to the rules. Just the Jonahs can do this.
Roman Pavlyuchenko 1
Left: February 2012
Won: 2015 Russian Cup ( Lokomotiv Moscow )
Scored some memorable Spurs goals, most famously getting on the end of one of Gareth Bales crosses in the Maicon evisceration. However, Silverware just arrived in Russia upon his return.
Steven Pienaar 1
Left: July 2012
Won: 2018 South African Cup ( Bidvest Wits FC)
Spending your English top-flight career with Spurs and Everton ( last major trophy: 1995 ) suggests a man uninterested in the gaudy frippery of trinkets and baubles. A transfer to his home country was successful, much like Pavlyuchenko.
Rafael van der Vaart 1
Left: August 2012
Won: 2017/18 Danish Superliga (FC Midtjylland )
Van der Vaart is a gifted trophy-avoider, managing somehow to spend two full years at Real Madrid with only a single Supercopa to show for it. Every Spurs fan clamors for something to happen two minutes before the screen shuts twice a month, every year, even though he was entirely Spurs before he even joined the deadline-busting revolution that occurred fifteen years ago. Always does, ever. In the post-Spurs era, the Dutchman managed at least one Swedish victory.
Etienne Capoue 1
Left: July 2015
Won: Europa League 2020/21 ( Villarreal )
Among those to pull Man Uniteds pants down so spectacularly in the final, alongside a then on-loan Juan Foyth. This is almost a Spurs medal.
Kieran Trippier 1
Left: July 2019
Won: La Liga 2020/21 ( Atletico Madrid )
Could even now win something with Newcastle, a club historically even more trophy-averse than Spurs, just to rub their noses in it.
Fernando Llorente 1
Left: September 2019
Won: Coppa Italia 2019/20 ( Napoli)
A weirdly significant and handsome figure in the inherently weird 2019 Champions League run, he handsomely got his hands on the Coppa Italia a year later.
Victor Wanyama 1
Left: March 2020
Won: Canadian Championship 2021 ( CF Montreal )
Two fun facts about the Canadian Championship. One, it’s really a pot contest, hardly a championship. Wanyamas CF Montreal’s 2021 last was truly played two days before the Covid-delayed 2020 last, which was postponed. Which, satisfyingly, means that 2019 champions Montreal defeated Toronto, who had already qualified for the 2020 subject six months prior.
Erik Lamela 1
Left: July 2021
Won: Europa League 2022/23 ( Sevilla )
Given that he outshithoused Jose Mourinho in the final, leaving the former Spurs boss furious, confused, and swearing in a car park, this is perhaps the one post-Spurs success that Spurs fans can truly and thoroughly enjoy as one of their own. He even won a Puskas Award, and[alsoourheartwhich is not entirely correct.
Emerson Royal 1
Left: August 2024
Won: Supercoppa Italiana 2024/25 ( Milan )
Even Emerson Royal beating Harry Kane to the post-Spurs trophy bounty is an undeniably good bit.
Bongani Khumalo 2
Left: July 2015
Won: South African Premier Soccer League 2016/17 and South African Cup 2017/18 ( Bidvest Wits FC)
Played not one single first-team game for Spurs in four-and-a-half years, but did rack up plenty of loan moves.
Lucas Moura 2
Left: July 2023
Won: Copa do Brasil 2023, Supercopa do Brasil 2024 ( Sao Paulo )
Returned to his first club and promptly pocketed a few more trophies to go with the extensive collection he amassed at PSG and the two runners-up medals he received at Spurs.
Davinson Sanchez 2
Left: September 2023
Won: Greek Super Lig 2023/24, Turkish Super Cup 2023
We grow exceedingly convinced that Spur present centre-back despair is strong and deserved guilt for all the indicate things their followers said about Davinson Sanchez.
Clint Dempsey 3
Left: August 2013
Won: Supporters Shield 2014, US Open Cup 2014,  , MLS Cup 2016 ( Seattle Sounders )
Always enjoyed the MLS Supporters Shield. appears to be a player of the year award, but it isn’t. The MLS staff with the best standard year report makes the move. Or the group champions, as virtually all other soccer cultures may interpret it.
Georges-Kevin Nkoudou 3
Left: August 2019
Won: Turkish Super Lig 2020/21, Turkish Cup 2020/21, Turkish Super Cup 2021 ( Besiktas )
Rather neatly, Nkoudou scored eight goals in 32 Super Lig appearances in the 2020/21 title-winning season and has scored four goals from 16 appearances in each of the two subsequent seasons. Unfortunately, he is no longer under contract, meaning we will not be able to see him net two goals in each of his eight starts over the course of the following four times.
Christian Eriksen 3
Left: January 2020
Won: Serie A 2020/21 ( Inter ), Carabao Cup 2022/23, FA Cup 2023/24 ( Manchester United )
Manchester Uniteds Banter Era containing more trophy success than most clubs golden eras is truly something to behold. In American football, Mauricio Pochettino and Mikel Arteta have each won more awards than Mauricio Pochettino combined. These are actual statistics.
Toby Alderweireld 4
Left: July 2021
Won Emir of Qatar Cup 2022 ( Al-Duhail ), Belgian Pro League 2022/23, Belgian Cup 2022/23, Belgian Super Cup 2023 ( Antwerp)
Returned to Belgium to play for hometown club Antwerp and casually delivered their first title since 1957 ( a longer wait even than Tottenhams ) via a 25-yard sh*tpinger of a 95th-minute final-day equaliser to break Genks hearts. Only a truly beautiful moment. AguerOOOOOO, and AlderweirELDDDDDDDD >.
Benjamin Stambouli 5
Left: July 2015
Won: Ligue 1 2015/16, Coupe de France 2015/16, Coupe de la Ligue 2015/16, Trophee des Champions 2015, 2o16 ( PSG)
Fair play, if youre going to snag yourself an inexplicable 12 months at PSG after an entirely forgettable year at Spurs then you might as well win everything in sight before you get rumbled and sold on to Schalke.
Vincent Janssen 5
Left: July 2019
Won: Liga MX: Apertura 2019, Copa MX 2019/20, CONCACAF Champions League 2021 ( Montterrey ), Belgian Pro League 2022/23, Belgian Cup 2022/23 ( Antwerp )
Among the more obvious flops of those signed for the impossible striker who has to watch Harry Kane play all
Vedran Corluka 6
Left: July 2012
Won: Russian Premier League 2017/2018, Russian Cup 2014/15, 2016/17, 2018/19, 2020/21, Russian Super Cup 2019 ( Lokomotiv Moscow )
We think about Corluka a lot, specifically about the way he left Manchester City on quite literally the day Manchester City changed forever in 2008, joining Spurs just a few short months after what remains their last trophy. Since therefore, City has won 23 medals. Corona is already well-versed in his day in Russia, which is to go with Spurs ‘ title in the 2009 League Cup.
Cameron Carter-Vickers 6
Left: July 2022
Won: Scottish Premiership 2022/23, 2023/24, Scottish Cup 2022/23, 2023/24, Scottish League Cup 2022/23, 2024/25 ( Celtic )
Having won the league and League Cup while on loan in Glasgow ( which sadly means they cant officially count towards this list ), promptly went one better by winning the lot after making the move permanent. is one of only two former Spur people who, along with Joe Hart, has won all five Big Ange Postecoglous Celtic titles.
and has since won another league and cup double, while also securing a medal for the League Cup winners this year from a growing collection.
Joe Hart 7
Left August 2021
Won: Scottish Premiership 2021/22, 2022/23, 2023/24, Scottish Cup 2022/23, 2023/24, Scottish League Cup 2021/22, 2022/2023 ( Celtic )
A key member of Postecoglous all-conquering Celtic after being unceremoniously told he was surplus to Spurs requirements by Nuno Espirito Santo, which turned out to be quite the break. What transpired regarding Nuno?
Hossam Ghaly 8
Left: January 2009
Won: Egyptian Premier League 2010/11, 2015/16, 2016/17, 2017/18, Egypt Cup 2016/17, Egyptian Super Cup 2010/11, 2014/15, 2015/16 ( Al Ahly )
Gets in on a technicality: he was a Spurs player during the 2008 Carling Cup win, but was at the time on loan at Derby. That’ll be good for us, since, well, interesting is it that he once threw his top? after returning to Egypt, won a lot of money as well.
Paulinho 9
Left: July 2015
Won: AFC Champions League 2015, Chinese Super League 2015, 2016, 2019, Chinese FA Cup 2016, Chinese FA Super Cup 2016, 2017 ( Guangzhou Evergrande ), La Liga 2017/18, Copa del Rey 2017/18 ( Barcelona )
A genuinely baffling career path providing one of the very best Senior career sidebars Wikipedia has to offer. Two disappointing times without any trophy at Spur are essentially the only thing that makes sense.
Kyle Walker 17
Left: July 2017
Won: Champions League 2022/23, Premier League 2017/18, 2018/19, 2020/21, 2021/22, 2022/23, 2023/24, FA Cup 2018/19, 2020/23, League Cup 2017/18, 2018/19, 2019/20, 2020/21, FIFA Club World Cup 2023, UEFA Super Cup 2023, Community Shield 2019, 2020 ( Manchester City )
His 50m move to Manchester City back in 2017 was widely heralded as one of those good news for everyone transfers. However, it ended up being more important to Kyle Walker and Manchester City.
Luka Modric 27
Left: August 2012
Won: Champions League 2013/14, 2015/16, 2016/17, 2017/18, 2021/22, 2023/24, FIFA Club World Cup 2014, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2022, La Liga 2016/17, 2019/20, 2021/22, 2023/24, Copa del Rey 2013/14, 2022/23, UEFA Supercup 2014, 2016, 2017, 2022, 2024, Supercopa de Espana 2012, 2017, 2020, 2022, 2024 ( Real Madrid )
Yeah, the bloke who beat Alex Song to the worst La Liga signing of 2012 has done all right in the end.
