Archibald played 189 times and scored 77 goals in a four year spell at the Lane in the early Eighties. He won 27 caps for Scotland and scored four times.
The Spurs Official Website reported Steve's reaction:
"I am humbled to accept such an award. It is a fantastic feeling to know that I am joining such an elite band of all-time greats. Scottish football has such a long history and to be part of it is a wonderful honour."
Gilzean scored 133 goals in 439 appearances for Spurs in a 10-year spell. He scored 12 times in 22 matches for Scotland.
On receiving the award, he said: "To join such legendary figures like Dave Mackay, Denis Law, Jock Stein and John White in the Hall of Fame is an honour I never in my wildest dreams thought would come to me.
"I learned my trade in a very good Dundee side and followed that with wonderful years at Tottenham Hotspur."
