Harry Kane - England's Hero cover

This biography chronicles the journey of Harry Kane, exploring his rise to become England's football captain and national hero.

In Harry Kane - England's Hero, author Frank Worrall delves into the remarkable journey of one of football's brightest stars. Appointed as England's team captain at just twenty-three years old by manager Gareth Southgate, Kane faced immense pressure. Many viewed this decision as premature, yet Southgate recognized Kane's modesty and inspiring nature, believing he was ready for the challenge ahead. This biography captures not only Kane's rise to prominence but also the hopes and doubts of a nation that had lost faith in its football team.

The 2018 World Cup was a turning point for both Kane and the English squad. With fans uncertain of their prospects, few could have predicted that this young, relatively inexperienced team would achieve their best result since 1990. Kane's leadership on the field was pivotal, culminating in him winning the tournament's Golden Boot with an impressive six goals. More than just individual accolades, the team managed to unite a nation, creating unforgettable memories during the summer of football.

Despite the heartbreak of their semi-final loss to Croatia, this was merely the beginning for Kane and his teammates. Worrall's biography not only chronicles Kane's extraordinary career but also highlights the potential for greatness that lies ahead for this world-class player. From his humble beginnings in north London to the grand stages of international football, Harry Kane - England's Hero is a tribute to resilience and determination.
