Harry Kane keeps his England shirts in pride of place to inspire him to make more history.
And there is a sense of destiny in Kane succeeding Wayne Rooney as England’s leading goal scorer as the Tottenham striker is now just three behind.
Three Lions captain Kane, 28, scored his first ever England goal in a 4-0 win over Lithuania in March 2015 after coming on for Rooney, scoring just 79 seconds into his senior debut. The headlines the next day read “Hurry Kane” and, even more fittingly, “Coming To Get Roo” as the Spurs man became an overnight sensation. But Kane also has the shirt from England’s win over Switzerland six months later when he was on the pitch and scored the same night Rooney broke Sir Bobby Charlton’s record. For a player obsessed with records and sporting achievements and excellence, those little keep sakes and memories drive him to even more success.
