Harry Kane is the first englishman to win the Ballon d’Or since Michael Owen did – and that was a quarter of a century ago.
In his speech he said …….“Wow, wow, wow!I am almost speechless. Being here in London has made it extra special. Made it a good omen for me tonight. Thank you to everyone who voted for me. I can imagine it was tough this year.“Some world-class players in the room tonight. Congratulations to all the winners and nominees tonight, and impressive showing determination and hard work can really achieve.”
An interesting and less known fact… he once played goalie.
On October 23, 2014, when Tottenham Hotspur played against Asteras Tripolis in the UEFA Europa League Kane had to step up and be goalie for his team because the actual goalie got a red card. (LP)
