Early life
Harry Edward Kane was born at Whipps Cross University Hospital in Whipps Cross, Leytonstone, London.[4][5] His father's name is Patrick Kane and mother's name is Kim Kane, both of whom are Irish. He has one elder brother, Charlie.[6][7][8] When the family moved to Chingford, Harry attended Larkswood Primary Academy there until 2004,[9][10] after which he started to study in Chingford Foundation School, in which David Beckham also studied.[11] Kane described his childhood as:
“ | I think the sporting genes come from my Mum's side of the family although the topic is a hot debate in the Kane household. Dad probably won't like me saying that, but I think my granddad Eric on my Mum's side was quite a good footballer, and played at a decent level.[12] | ” |
Kane also said: "Most of my family were Spurs fans and I grew up 15 minutes from the ground, so I was always going to be a Spurs fan".[12] He said that when he was a child he wanted to be like Teddy Sheringham, he thought of him as a "great finisher" and a role model because he scores a lot of goals.[13]
