16 seems a bit of a tradition for backup full backs at Spurs; not a clue why. Bale in his full-back days, Gunter, Naughton and Trippier have all had it, as well as KWP.
Yeah hopefully it means good things for KWP!

And his career with us went downwards after he got it. It's cursed by Paulinho.Mr Ryan Mason
Fair play to Winks in securing such a privileged shirt number this season. Personally I'd have preferred him keeping his old number as it does put a little bit of unnecessary pressure on the lad but it's only a number on the back of a shirt and he does love the club so congrats on getting the same shirt the likes of Gazza wore for us. Let's hope he stamps his mark on it
I imagine he's too young to feel the gravitas of gazza wearing the shirt, I imagine the conversation went; "Harry you know Gazza used to don this number" "Ah cool"

You need one good player to break it!And his career with us went downwards after he got it. It's cursed by Paulinho.
The rumours of Winks taking the number 8 shirt have been going around for a little whileYou need one good player to break it!
#6 Huddlestone, Parker, Chiriches, Bentaleb then Sanchez
But I wonder whether Winks would have got the number if it wasn’t us failing to sign Grealish or another Midfielder?
I first heard about it 14th July.According to some American Spurs podcast, gonna get the number 8 shirt next season.

Oh I didn’t know there were already rumours and tbh im glad he got itThe point I was making in my post above is that the cause and effect went the other way. We weren't especially fussed about signing Grealish because we already have Winks.
Let's just get this into perspective. Jack Grealish is a promising midfielder who has played at Championship level. Harry Winks has helped us to dominate midfield in Champions League matches against Real Madrid. Winks is the one with the pedigree and the experience.
