A life-size statue of England captain and Bayern Munich striker, Harry Kane 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.
Kane, who has been back in England for international duty this week, visited the site he helped open in 2016, and was filmed standing alongside the bronze work as the two youngsters lifted the cover of it.
He later posted on X: “A real proud moment for me to go back to where my life in football began and unveil a statue. I hope it helps inspire the next generation to work hard and believe in themselves.”
