Learn all about the incredible story of Harry Kane, an inspirational athlete whose determination and hard work helped him become captain of England’s football 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.
