Harry Kane

About this book

Learn all about the incredible story of Harry Kane, an inspirational athlete whose determination and hard work helped him become captain of England's soccer team. Little Harry always knew he wanted to be a footballer. He joined his first club, Ridgeway Rovers, at a young age and worked hard to improve his skills every day. He was soon scouted by Arsenal, who spotted his potential. But when he was dropped from Arsenal after just one season, Harry was devastated--he thought it would be the end of his footballing journey. With the support of his dad and the rest of his family, he picked himself back up, trained even harder, and proved that he had real talent. When he joined Tottenham Hotspur, it felt like home. He became their top scorer, netting hundreds of goals and delighting fans every match. Harry's incredible determination saw him rise to the top and become captain of the England team. In his first World Cup, he won the Golden Boot--a prize for being the top-scorer in the competition. He also uses his voice off the pitch, starting a foundation to encourage people to talk about their feelings.
