Harry Kane is a legendary goal scorer and has been praised for setting an example on the pitch.

However, the England captain, who has many sporting heroes including David Beckham and Tiger Woods, isn’t always able to make it to the top.

After spending years on loan at Leyton Orient and Millwall, Norwich City, Leicester City and Leicester City he finally made his way to the Tottenham Team – despite some difficulties during those loan spells, and suffering a few injuries.

Although it was not easy, he is now considered one of the best strikers in the entire world. He is currently four goals ahead of Wayne Rooney, the country’s all-time top scorer with 53.

Kane spent most of his loan period sitting behind Scott McGleish and Alex Revell at the O’s during 2010/11 season. However, he did score his first professional goal and went on to score five more times in 18 games.

Despite not impressing at Brisbane Road, he moved up to the Championship on loan at Millwall the next season. He spent the second-half the campaign there, after initially playing in the Europa League for Spurs, and was a member of the first-team.

Millwall was more successful than his time there, with nine goals in 27 appearances that proved his goal-scoring ability.

Norwich City was quite a different story. It was a disastrous loan spell after Norwich City joined the Premier League side in august 2012.

Kane sustained a fractured metatarsal bone and suffered an injury in the League Cup match against Doncaster Rovers. This was Kane’s second appearance.

He was then just 19 years old and had to undergo rehabilitation at Tottenham. However, he returned to action on December 29, 2012 for Norwich, where he came off the bench at half-time as Norwich lost 4-3 against Manchester City.

After only five appearances with Canaries, he failed to score before Spurs called him back in February.

Kane seemed like he might be able to shine in London. But 12 days later, he was sent on loan to Leicester City to continue the campaign. He struggled to score with only two goals in 15 appearances.

He was a world-class player and broke into the Spurs’ first-team in 2012/13. He scored 12 goals that season.

The saying goes that the rest is history. He became a prolific player and won a gold boot at the World Cup, despite his early struggles.

He is a role model for budding footballers across the country and is keen to show how you can never give up on your dreams despite being against all odds.

He’s not just on the pitch, he also tried to give back in all ways possible, including sponsoring Leyton Orient’s shirts for selected charities the past two seasons.

The Museum of London has created a free display in collaboration with Kane that aims to inspire and motivate all ages.

The “Harry Kane: My desire to play football” display will include rarely seen personal items, family photographs, and iconic objects that document Harry’s entire career, from his first club to his winning golden boot awards and becoming England captain.

Kane was born in Chingford in east London, and grew up just 15 minutes from Tottenham Hotspur’s stadium in north London.

At six years old, he began his football career playing for local youth clubs Ridgeway Rovers & Gladstone Rangers.

This display shows Kane’s early years of football as a fan and as a player. He played for three London clubs – Leyton Orient and Millwall – and then went on to international success as captain of a historic England side.

Kane stated that the Museum of London contacted Kane and asked for a Londoner who could inspire children to do their best. So, I was delighted to display all my memorabilia, including trophies and shirts, gold boots, and personal items which have never been publicly displayed before.

“I have three children now, so I understand the importance of inspiring the younger generation.

“The display will continue until the World Cup, and it is free to view. I encourage everyone to visit it if you have the opportunity.

“There are some truly special items in there, from my World Cup gold boot and MBE to my shirt and armband from the first game as England captain. They mean a lot.

Zeynep Kussan, Exhibition Curator, added that Harry Kane was born in London and has worked his way through grassroots soccer.

“It’s important that we highlight this story and the importance of grassroots work. We wanted to capture this moment, as well as the men’s Euro final being played here in the capital.

“We shouldn’t wait for something to be in the past before we celebrate it or tell its story in a museum. Just like football, we should all be there in that moment.

“With the women’s Euros & World Cup approaching, this is an amazing opportunity to learn about a player who has risen through London’s grassroots soccer and what it takes for them to play at the highest levels of the game.

The display will also include personal items and a space for visitors to listen to Kane’s pre-match playlist.

Visitors will have the opportunity to learn more about Harry and share their hopes and dreams in an interactive area.

The exhibit will be on display from May 21 to December 2022. The Museum of London is open seven days a week, 10am-5pm.
