The Harry Kane trophy curse: Why England's greatest-ever striker hasn't won silverware

Harry Kane receives a silver medal and walks past the trophy at the end of the UEFA Euro 2024 final football match between Spain and England at the Olympiastadion in Berlin on July 14, 2024.

The words “Harry Kane trophy curse” have haunted not just England fans for a decade, but Tottenham and Bayern Munich supporters now, too. How can a player that good have never won a trophy?

It's unfathomable. The Three Lions skipper is arguably his country's greatest-ever centre-forward, having smashed the all-time scoring record, landed a World Cup Golden Boot and become one of just three players to have ever scored 200 goals in the Premier League. Ability-wise, he's as complete a package as you'd ever want a striker to be. It simply doesn't make sense.
