📆 𝗧𝗛𝗥𝗢𝗪𝗕𝗔𝗖𝗞: In 2019, Spurs were drawn away to League Two Tranmere in the FA Cup 3rd Round. Mauricio Pochettino opted to rotate his squad, giving minutes to those in need of match fitness, leaving star man Harry Kane on the bench. At 6-0 up, with 75 mins on the clock, Poch decided to bring Kane on who scored 7 minutes later to make it 7-0. After the game Pochettino faced questions and light criticism for risking his best player in a game that was already over. He explained that introducing Kane was purely a matter of giving the local home fans an opportunity to see a world-class player in the flesh. 🗣️ Poch: "It's important to show respect to the people here so they could see Harry Kane, who is an icon in English football. It is a local town and it is difficult for them to have the opportunity to see Harry Kane play in a competition like the FA Cup. I think it was a very nice gesture." 👏 Class from Poch.

🚨🎙️Harry Redknapp reveals Eden Hazard wanted to join #THFC but Daniel Levy was unwilling to pay the £18M asking price: "Well, I met Eden Hazard. Joe Cole rang me. He was at Lille, and he said, 'I'm playing with the best player I've ever played with.' I went over and watched him, went back again the week after, and met him in a hotel room with his agent, and he wanted to come. But at the time, Daniel didn't want to spend the money on him. I think it was about £18 million."

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏆 Harry Kane is the 𝗖𝗟𝗔𝗦𝗦𝗜𝗖 example of never giving up on your dream to become to the best choosing perseverance every time. ▪️ At 9-years-old, Arsenal released him from their youth setup because he was not very athletic. ▪️ At 11-years-old, Watford picked Kane up on a short trial. During the trial, he scored a hat-trick against Tottenham who immediately offered him a spot in their own academy. ▪️ In his youth development phase he was sent out on four different loans in the English pyramid: Leyton Orient, Millwall, Norwich City and Leicester City. ▪️ When Mauricio Pochettino arrived at Spurs he wanted to sign Danny Welbeck. They couldn't make the deal happen meaning Kane was promoted to third choice striker behind Adebayor and Soldado. ▪️ In 2013, Kane made 10 appearances in his breakthrough season scoring 3 goals. ▪️ He went on to become Tottenham Hotspur's all-time top scorer, but left the club without winning a trophy. Some considered it a failure. ▪️ In 2019, he lost the Champions League final. ▪️ In 2021 and 2024, he lost two EUROs finals with England. ▪️ In 2023, he signed for Bayern Munich to win trophies, but ended up losing the German Super Cup on his debut and finishing 2nd in the Bundesliga in his first season. ▪️ In 2025, however, he finally ended his trophy drought, winning his first major title - the Bundesliga - at 31 years old. ▪️ In 2026, he scored 73 goals for club and country, winning the Ballon d'Or, football's ultimate individual prize.
