This is a lovely quote (especially the parts in bold). I think the reason we've taken him to our hearts is that he is almost exactly as described, like one of the lads. Just so happens he plays for the finest football club in the world, too:
'Is there a more enjoyable footballer in the world at the moment than Kane? The answer is a resounding no. You could make an argument for Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo. You could put forward a case for Sergio Agüero or Neymar or Eden Hazard and your logic would be sound.
Sound but dull, that is. The beauty of Kane is that he looks like a supporter who has won a competition to play for his favourite team, with such heart and endeavour, charging around the pitch as if he had been informed before kick‑off that the world would end if he – and only he – did not give every last drop of sweat. Kane expended so much energy against Arsenal that he was probably powering the floodlights on his own and it would not have been a surprise to discover that he also found a spare moment or two to sneak into the crowd and lead a few chants.'
the live coverage continued till Harry left the field ... What a pleasure to see that lap of honor and the rousing and emotional reception he got. He applauded the stands the whole way round and not once did he strike a pose for the cameras as a certain Portuguese twat would have! Let's hope he has many many more laps! That was almost as good as the Ricky Villa goal.
