WHAT HARRY KANE SAID
Kane has told : “I saw a lot of similarities between me and him. No one expected him to do it and it’s a story people can relate to, of hard work and never giving up.
“Self-belief has probably been my biggest strength throughout my career. No matter what, I’ve always done what I believed is right. That could be training, that could be matches, that could be telling someone they’re doing something wrong or not agreeing with what we’re doing as a team.
“I think when you’re confident in yourself and believe in what you’re doing, you have no fear, almost. I think back to Norwich and Leicester and I wasn’t playing but doing extra training and finishing and had some players laughing and saying, ‘I don’t know why you’re doing that’. All those little moments made me who I am.”
