Harry Kane attends statue unveiling with players from childhood club
England captain Harry Kane says he is “really impressed” with a life-size statue of himself that has been unveiled near his childhood football club in north London.
The statue was paid for by Waltham Forest Council at a cost of £7,200 but remained in storage for four years while a location for its installation was found.
It was unveiled by two young players from Ridgeway Rovers FC, where Kane played as a boy, at the Peter May Sports Centre in Walthamstow on Monday.
“It’s quite humbling to see it here now knowing there’s going to be loads of kids walking past and hopefully being inspired,” the Chingford-raised player said.
