Exclusive interview with our talismanic striker Harry Kane,who will always have a place in his heart for today’s opponents millwall,just not to day..
Harry Kane will come face-to-face this afternoon with the club that he readily admits turned him into a man – but there will be no room for sentiment with an FA Cup semi-final place at stake today.
Currently the top scorer in the Premier League with 19 goals, having become the first Spurs player since Mark Falco to score 20 times in all competitions in three consecutive seasons, Harry was a fresh-faced 18-year-old when he joined Millwall on loan in January, 2012, still unsure at that time whether he had what it took to make it to the top.
Goals flowed regularly for him while playing for our Academy and Development squad teams and he signed professionally for us in July, 2010, before embarking on his first taste of senior football with Leyton Orient six months later.
Five goals in 18 appearances for the League One side was a decent return for the Walthamstow-born forward and, at the start of the 2011-12 campaign, he was handed his Spurs debut by Harry Redknapp in a Europa League play-off game against Hearts here at the Lane.
He featured five more times in the competition, scoring the first of his 88 goals for us in a 4-0 win over Shamrock Rovers, but both Harry wanted more game time to hone his talents and prove his credentials.
And so he headed to the New Den...
“I’d been playing a few games at the time,had a taste of it at Orient and then in the Europa League here, but when it came to the January, we felt I needed more regular football,” explained Harry.
“We looked at some Championship clubs and Millwall was one that came up. They were in a relegation battle and I had the option to move to a couple of clubs higher up the table, but I wasn’t guaranteed to play enough for them and at that stage of my career, I needed games.
