HARRY KANE | Before They Were Famous | England Captain FIFA World Cup 2018

Before They Were Famous - A podcast by Michael McCrudden

Harry went from a boy in the stands to the starting striker for his local team - but his career as a footballer almost didn't happen. At age 9 he was deemed inexperienced by his now rivals Arsenal. For a short period of time his prospects were limited, with him even considering playing for the Republic of Ireland - I love me some Dublin but they’re not exactly the team you bet money on during the World Cup. Often described as, “gangly” and “a bit cumbersome” for a young player, Kane outworked any nay sayers and took full advantage of his tactical soccer mind and his endless determination to push himself to the top, becoming a hometown hero and a national treasure.
