IT has been 17 years since Tottenham got their hands on silverware.
And while serial winners Antonio Conte and Jose Mourinho have been unable to end the drought, a horrible trend has emerged of players leaving Spurs and winning trophies.

Kieran Trippier picked up his second trophy since moving on by helping Newcastle to Carabao Cup glory on Sunday.
The “curse” remains on Harry Kane, for now, but a whopping 44 others have shook off the “Spursy” jibe.
To make this list, a player must have gone trophyless at Spurs and lifted a cup since the last time they did in 2008.
Winning something while on loan from the club doesn’t count (sorry, Bryan Gil) and nor do international trophies (sorry, Giovani Lo Celso).
Only league titles, major domestic cups and continental competitions count – as we are ignoring Spurs’ pre-season Audi Cup in 2019.
Luka Modric
Lifted four LaLiga titles and six Champions Leagues at Real Madrid.
Kyle Walker
Treble winner at Manchester City with six Prem crowns to his name.
