His āboyhood clubā was Arsenal!
Married his childhood sweetheart, has four kids, donates to the armed forces and mental health charities while running his own foundation. Doesn't drink or smoke. Zero career scandals, which is rare for anyone at his level of fame.
He's also his country's and boyhood club's all-time top scorer, with six Golden Boots including four in the Premier League and one at a World Cup.
He's easily the best striker in the world right now.
And yet Harry Kane remains one of the most disrespected and underrated players in world football. Which is bizarre because he's exactly the type of footballer kids should be looking up to. š

Neither can I!
In answer to the many commentators who believe Israel is āstolenā, more than two thirds of the UNās member states were created AFTER Israel was created.
When they were formed, a large majority of these new countries experienced significant violence, deaths & forced migrations.
60ā70 of those new states saw wars of independence, civil wars, ethnic conflict, partition violence, or mass displacement.
Israel has been lived in by Jews for thousands of years. It is the core of the most frequently cited Jewish prayers. Israel is also mentioned over 40 times in the Quran.
But according to antisemites, Israel is the only modern state that lacks legitimacy. I canāt imagine why.

Just left the @mcrjewishmuseum.
I was the only visitor. A lovely volunteer gave me a private tour, and halfway through I turned to her and said: āThis is all happening again. The same tactics. The same words. The exact same hatred.ā
And it is.
We forget how recent it all was. Yet today Jews still integrate, build businesses, enrich this country - M&S, the raincoat, Slazengerā¦ the list goes on. They have every right to be here.
Iām not Jewish. None of my family are. But I will NOT stay silent while Jew hatred explodes in the UK. To the Islamists (not Muslims but extremists) and the middle-class white lefties cheering Hamas: you can simply do one.
Iāve spoken to @antisemitism, Jewish students, and so many others in and around London. This vile poison must not win. Antisemitism is NOT British š¬š§. It goes against everything we stand for.
ā¼ļøNon-Jews: stop whispering support to your Jewish friends or local businesses. Be loud. Post it. Say it in your groups. Stop treating Jew hatred as some taboo because of the Middle East.
Antisemitism existed for centuries before any of this. Antizionism isnāt ājust criticismā - when they chant āput the Zios in the groundā and polls show 70-85% of British Jews identify as Zionist, who do you think that means?
āEnd the Zionist occupation of the British governmentā - swap āZionistā for āJewishā. Sounds familiar, doesnāt it?
If it was Black people facing this - places of worship attacked, ambulances set on fire, students hounded - weād never hear the end of it. But Jews? Too many stay quiet.
Look at Iran. Persecution never stops at the Jews. Next itās Christians, churches, gay people, women. History is screaming at us.
The āantizionist Jewishā voices in London?
When the next mob comes, they wonāt ask if youāre Zionist. Youāre Jewish. Thatās enough. Hitler didnāt check political views either.
Iām a Zionist. I believe the Jewish people have the right to a homeland. Being Zionist doesnāt mean I defend every action of the Israeli government - itās complicated. But the deliberate āgenocideā language is weaponised for a reason.
And so, Iāll keep speaking up. Loudly. Working with groups fighting this. If it was this level of hate against Black people, Hindus, anyone - Iād do the same. Iāve always stood up to bullies.
Non-Jews especially - Do Not let this become normal.

A blazing Sammy Woodhouse exposes a @GMB producer who told her not to mention the race or religion of the Pakistani Muslim men who raped and trafficked thousands of girls like Sammy.
Exactly why the monsters got away with it for so long!
This morning, I appeared on Good Morning Britain in a live interview about the grooming gangs. Before I went on air, I was told not to mention the race of the perpetrators. I, of course, didnāt listen.
I have now received an apology from the editor.

šØ Roy Keane on David Raya not being Spainās No. 1 at the World Cup:
āI donāt get it. Heās been performing at a high level, making big saves and showing real consistency. On form, heās one of the best goalkeepers in the world right now, if not the best.ā
āIf heās still not starting at the World Cup, you start to wonder what more he has to do. Sometimes coaches overthink it. If youāre in that kind of form, you play. Simple as that.ā

What a monumental match. October 29, 2011, is etched into Premier League history as one of the most chaotic, thrilling London derbies ever played. ā½ļøš„
Arsenal went into Stamford Bridge as underdogs after a rocky start to their season but walked away with an iconic 5-3 victory, fueled by a masterclass from Robin van Persie. š„š„
This victory marked the first time a visiting team scored 5 goals at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League era since December 1996..?? ā½ļøš„
Incredible stat for van persie. From that 2011/12 season ā½ļøš„

Martinelli loves Arsenal, and we love him.
But needs must.
We need an upgrade and we need to sell him and reinvest.
šØš§š· Gabriel Martinelli wants to stay at Arsenal despite growing uncertainty over his future.
It is understood that Arsenal are open to selling the Brazilian this summer, but Martinelliās preference is to remain in North London.
Sources indicate that the 25-year-old is prepared to accept a reduced role and fight for his place, even if it means becoming more of an impact substitute.
ā¤ļø Martinelli wants Arsenal.
ā He has no desire to leave.
šŖ He is willing to compete for minutes.
In an era where many players seek guarantees, Martinelliās attitude speaks volumes.
He wants to stay. He wants to fight. He wants Arsenal. š“āŖļø

IMO Arsenal should have been firm with Saka and kept him back with the focus on getting him fit for next season.
It would be heartbreaking for him to miss the World Cup but Arsenal are paying him Ā£15 million pa, end of. theguardian.com/football/202ā¦
