Harry Kane scores for fun

[dontcallme]

Completely agree. I hate the similar argument that unless Messi wins the World Cup he won't be considered on the greats. What a load of crap!

Problem is football is changing.

The world cup used to be the be all and end all. Pele's 3 world cups ensured his place as the pinnacle.

But Messi's performances as a teenager as the central point for the best team in Europe performing in the league and CL makes him an undoubted great.

I thought it was one grandparent?

Harry's father comes from County Mayo (or is it Galway?).

 

[knowlespurs]

i think he will end up being one of our greatest players of all time

Grandad on his father's side from Galway

I don't really get this argument that you have to be at a club that's winning stuff to be World Class. If Harry had been playing for Madrid last season he wouldn't be a better player than he is now, but he would probably have a champions league winners medal. How does that suddenly make him world class?

Henry was deemed world class and he played for Arsenal!

 

[glacierSpurs]

His desire to be the best is what makes him so damn good.. He just works on whatever that can improve him; strength, stamina, pace, mentality etc.. He's just a monster.

I wonder how many on the continent call him Kar-ney, as in Sane & Mane?

How many people say 'Sain' or 'Main' over here?

Apart from Pleat.

I might start now.

"He's got the killer instinct of Ruud Van Nistelrooy, but he runs around and bullies defenders like Diego Costa. He is the most complete centre forward I've seen for a long time."

How is that not an endorsement for being exactly world class?

He won 13 medals whilst with them tbf.

The connection is with Galway. Clifden, if a press report I read was to be believed.

Having a look at that I think he was the only person from there.

And a grand Irish name he had, too.

Not,wanting to spoil a good story I looked up HK-Father-Google and it comes up with references to both father and grandfather being born in Ireland. Romantic eh ? Salt & pinch.

I think what I love most about Kane is the feeling of a special connection with him - not only is he the ultimate example of a fan on the pitch, but the way we've almost grown up with him.

I remember a few years ago in the youth team threads where his name started becoming more and more prominent, one user having a gif of him scoring for the u-18's in his sig for ages, to seeing him start to appear as a really genuine prospect - his first appearances in the team, his (awful) debut against Hearts (I think - or was it the crappy Irish team?), to his loan spells and a good couple of years of arguing with the hordes of people who wrote him off in his player thread.

I don't know how many times I read "he's just a clogger/he's got no pace/he's clumsy" by so many posters in that thread. A few of us (quite a lot actually) could see the obvious talent he had. I remember going to three Millwall games when he was on loan there and he was a match winner every time he appeared.

All that time and development and he has now blossomed into truly one of world football's great talents. He scores goals like no-one I've ever seen, plays out of his skin every week, is obviously a genuinely lovely guy and most importantly is a massive, massive Spur down to his toes.

It's been a wonderful experience watching him grow, now I hope to watch him lead us to trophies.

One thing I really admire about Kane is how he has not ditched his childhood sweetheart for some gold-digging tart with fake tits.

That's it, he's leaving. Every time we get to close we get hurt. Damn you @Bobbins , I'm blaming you.

Don't speak too soon, Gary Lineker waited for years.
