Harry Kane: Striker's rise from childhood keeper to England great

Harry Kane has played in all four of England's Nations League games during this international break

Harry Kane has reached another significant England milestone by equalling Peter Shilton's 36-year-old record as the most-capped Three Lions player.

Kane is already his country's record scorer with 89 goals in 124 appearances in a full international career he started by opening his account 79 seconds into his debut.

"You're still going strong Harry, still playing well and scoring goals. I know how much dedication and hard work you put into achieving this, especially as a striker as I think that is probably the hardest position to play with goalkeeper just behind it.

When a six-year-old Harry Kane arrived for trials with Ridgeway Rovers in 1999, the youth side - who a generation earlier had produced David Beckham - thought they had found themselves a new goalkeeper.

"This little boy puts his hand up and says: 'I'll go in goal.' We give him some gloves, and he performs heroics - makes some fantastic saves. He's tipping it round the post, tipping a couple over the bar.

"We put him on pitch and he smacked goals in left, right and centre. So he ends up being our centre-forward."

Kane's prolific form for Ridgeway Rovers and his Waltham Forest district side caught the attention of professional scouts. Arsenal initially snapped up the youngster but decided not to keep him, while Watford also passed up the opportunity to sign Kane.

"He was always on the move up front. When he got a chance, guaranteed four out of five he was going to score or set someone up."
