At just 8 years old, an young Harry Kane was 𝐑𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐒𝐄𝐃 by Arsenal after being labelled “a bit chubby” and “not very athletic.” 💔
They didn't believe he had what it took.
Before becoming a superstar at Tottenham, he was sent out on 𝗙𝗢𝗨𝗥 loan spells:
🇬🇧 Leyton Orient — League One
🇬🇧 Millwall — Championship
🇬🇧 Norwich City — Premier League
🇬🇧 Leicester City — Championship
Four loan spells. Countless setbacks. Years of being doubted.
He went on to become Tottenham's 𝗔𝗟𝗟-𝗧𝗜𝗠𝗘 leading goalscorer, England's 𝗔𝗟𝗟-𝗧𝗜𝗠𝗘 leading goalscorer and one of the deadliest strikers in world football. ⚽
But despite all those goals, records and individual awards, one thing kept eluding him...
𝗔 𝗧𝗥𝗢𝗣𝗛𝗬. 🏆
He had to wait until he was 𝟯𝟭 𝗬𝗘𝗔𝗥𝗦 𝗢𝗟𝗗 to finally lift the first major trophy of his career.
From being rejected as an 8-year-old to becoming a champion at 31.
𝟮𝟯 𝙔𝙀𝘼𝙍𝙎 𝘽𝙀𝙏𝙒𝙀𝙀𝙉 𝙍𝙀𝙅𝙀𝘾𝙏𝙄𝙊𝙉 𝘼𝙉𝘿 𝙍𝙀𝘿𝙀𝙈𝙋𝙏𝙄𝙊𝙉.
He never stopped working.
He never stopped believing.
He 𝗡𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗥 gave up.
