00:07England's most prolific goalscorer Tottenham Hotspur's most potent striker
00:16a record breaker in the Bundesliga a World Cup golden boot winner
00:25for the entirety of his extraordinary career Harry Kane has found the back of the net more
00:31frequently than just about any Englishman in the country's long history has two attributes as a
00:39top top to strike right left header dropping quality to play assists score goal be in the box
00:47to score goals arriving so the exceptional striker has shown in many many years so on top of that Kane
00:57has led his country with distinction and during the 2026 World Cup will set a new mark for caps
01:04as captain of the three Lions surpassing legendary figures Bobby Moore and Billy Wright and this
01:13skipper he has helped forge a new culture for the England team one that prioritizes collectivism
01:19over individual brilliance leading them to consecutive European Championship finals and
01:26the knockout stages of the past two World Cups I like to lead by example I think that's a big
01:32trait
01:33of mine which yeah send good examples for the players around me for the staff for the young players coming
01:41through despite such individual brilliance Kane had to wait until he was 31 and scorer of over 400
01:49professional goals before he lifted his first major trophy the 2024-25 Bundesliga title with Bayern Munich
01:59yeah this one feels special I think obviously I've won this one before and a few golden boots in my
02:04career
02:05but to do it when we win the championship is that more meaningful and it's been another good season
02:10I've enjoyed every moment of it it's been some great moments and yeah it was nice to finish with a
02:16with a win today and obviously to score in the final game as well Kane was a natural finisher from
02:22an early
02:22age and since breaking through at the highest level in 2014 he has reached double figures for league goals
02:29every season the first of many individual accolades arrived with the 2015 PFA Young Player of the Year award
02:41since 2017 Kane has scored at least five goals every calendar year for England
02:47paring the COVID disrupted 2020 campaign
02:51it sounds obvious that he wants to be one of the best players in the world but actually not every
02:57player is committed to being that not every player has that belief but also is prepared to
03:01commit themselves in training in their lifestyle and everything and he is ordinarily goal scoring
03:08feats like this would be accompanied by mountains of silverware but Kane's commitment to Tottenham
03:14and Spurs is reluctant to cash in on their star asset meant he was rarely in the hunt for honours
03:19in
03:19England despite winning the golden boot three times and firing his side to the 2019 Champions League
03:27final a transfer to one of the world's mega clubs was inevitable at some point and that arrived in 2023
03:36with a move to German Giants Bayern Munich but even then Kane had the misfortune to time his arrival in
03:44Bavaria with Bayer Leverkusen's freak campaign under Xavi Alonso delaying his trophy celebrations a season
03:51longer than anticipated
03:54I think actually Bayern Munich are one of the biggest clubs in the world and I've always said throughout my
03:59career I want to keep improving and keep pushing myself to be the very best and I felt like it
04:04was the right step in my career to really push myself and test myself on the highest level so that's
04:11why I'm here and I look forward to that challenge
04:13The Londoners composure in front of goal height and predatory instincts mark him out as a quintessential number nine but
04:22his all-round game is far more technical as he has matured he has spent more time dropping into deep
04:28positions and linking play
04:31As England's tactics have evolved from the coaching of Gareth Southgate to Thomas Tuchel Kane's ability to take part in
04:38build-up play and create space for younger direct forwards around him has become a core aspect of his team's
04:45preferred route to goal
04:46this country probably don't appreciate how good he is from a footballer point of view he's incredible this country should
04:55appreciate we've got a real special talent
04:57Kane turns 33 not long after the 2026 World Cup final he will not get many more chances to succeed
05:05with England the country he has served as brilliantly as anyone that has gone before him
05:11There's a lot of great teams out there but we're growing in confidence you know with the experiences that we've
05:16had in the other major tournaments
05:17but for sure we still got some improving to do some learning to do
05:21After a lifetime of finding the back of the net for club and country Harry Kane is starting to get
05:27into the habit of lifting trophies
05:29the big one with England would cap the finest career in three lions history
