Captain Harry Kane makes England history

Harry Kane will make history tomorrow at Wembley when he becomes the youngest player to captain England at a World Cup.

Gareth Southgate called the 24-year-old “a meticulous professional” who “sets the standard every day” and the Tottenham talisman has certainly led by example in his fledgling career, plundering goals for club and country since his breakthrough season of 2014-15.

”It’s amazing, and a real honour for me and my family. Gareth mentioned it to me at the last camp,” Kane told The FA website.

”We had a chat at the Grove for about an hour and he said to me that he wanted me to be captain. I think he told me that long ago to give me time to process it. To captain England is probably every player’s dream and I’d be no different. But I didn’t expect it to happen as quickly as it has. To be captaining England at 24 is amazing.

The Tottenham Hotspur hitman, however, is not carried away.

”I’m obviously extremely proud but not much changes from my point of view. I’m still the same person, still the same player and we all know we’ve got a job to do”.
