As one of the top soccer players in the world and the captain of the England national team, Harry Kane has achieved immense success. In fact, there is currently an exhibit dedicated to him at the Museum of London. Surprisingly, Harry revealed that he wasn't always seen as the superstar he is today. As a young player, he had to work hard to prove himself and overcome doubts from others. This determination and self-belief are what shaped him into the player he is today.
When asked about his sources of inspiration, Harry mentioned a Tom Brady documentary that had a significant impact on him. During a difficult period in his career, he came across this documentary called "The Brady 6," which depicted Tom Brady's journey from being picked in the 6th round to becoming one of the greatest sportsmen of all time. This documentary gave Harry the belief that he too could achieve greatness. And as we all know, he has indeed achieved that.
It was also revealed that Harry has developed a friendship with Tom Brady after reaching out to him on Instagram. They have been following each other and even had conversations wishing each other luck. It's amazing how these relationships can flourish.
Switching gears, Jimmy couldn't help but ask Harry about his football skills beyond soccer.

Jimmy even jokingly suggested that Harry could be an emergency kicker for the Buccaneers, Jets, or Giants if needed. Harry confidently replied that he would put himself up there among the best kickers.
The interview also touched on Harry's unique training experience with the Royal Marines before the last World Cup. He talked about being fully immersed in their camping and tactical training sessions in the middle of a forest. They even slept over and did a three-mile hike at 5:00 a.m. the next morning. This team bonding experience was crucial for their performance in the World Cup.
As the interview came to a close, the topic of breaking England's goal-scoring record came up. Harry is only four goals away from achieving this milestone and expressed his excitement for the upcoming World Cup. He believes they have a great team, talented players, and an excellent coach. Harry's goal is to break the record during the tournament.
To conclude the segment with some entertainment, Jimmy challenged Harry to a game of mini foosball. Although Jimmy put up a good fight, Harry's lightning-fast reflexes and striker skills led him to victory, winning 2-0.
Harry Kane proved once again that he is not only a remarkable soccer player but also a charismatic and down-to-earth person. Fans around the world will undoubtedly be eagerly watching him compete in the upcoming World Cup and continue his journey of success.
