Former head of PE as well as the assistant head of school Mark Leadon revealed how the 24-year-old drive and mentality has helped him to reach the height of his career in English football, just like Beckham.

The school is filled with framed match-worn jerseys and memorabilia from Beckham, Kane and also Crystal Palace's Dwight Gayle, another former pupil.

And they believe that Kane showed signs of success during his time at the school.

"Harry was always dedicated and driven to succeed. When he played for the school, he gave it everything. He scored a lot of goals and we had a very successful team and he was outstanding," he told the Daily Mail back in 2015.

Leadon says that there was no arrogance in Kane both on and off the pitch.

He says that Kane was more than just a prolific goalscorer, he was a team player and that has shone through in his success for Tottenham.

Leadon added: "He was always technically gifted and a real team player. He didn’t expect to be treated differently. He wasn’t one to keep the ball if a pass was on. He was never like that.

"Going through school, he was never egotistic. He was a normal pupil. He was also a very good cricketer, who opened the bowling for the school and batted at No 4."
