Kane is also England’s record goalscorer. Former Ridgeway Rovers coach Dave Bricknell recalled that Kane impressed in goal at a trial in 1999, when he was six, before moving outfield and scoring freely. The BBC notes that some interviews in its account were first published in 2016. [1]
Kane went on to become Tottenham’s all-time leading scorer, with 280 goals in 435 appearances, before joining Bayern Munich in 2023. [1]
