ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
Next week, Harry Kane will lead the England men’s squad into their first game of the 2026 World Cup.
Kane has a wealth of experience behind him - he is England’s all-time record goalscorer and has also racked up an extraordinary tally at his current club, Germany’s Bayern Munich. Kane is at the top of his game, but his ascent has been anything but smooth.
Born in east London in 1993, Kane developed a near-obsessive love for the beautiful game. It was a passion he shared with his childhood sweetheart, Kate, who later became his wife.
At the age of eight, Kane joined Arsenal’s academy, only to be released after one season. Then, after signing for Tottenham Hotspur, he spent years out on loan to the likes of Leyton Orient, Norwich City and Millwall.
So how did Kane go from underestimated youngster to world-class striker? Mark Coles looks back at Harry’s life and career so far.
