Harry Kane captained England to the World Cup semi-finals
Just 79 seconds after coming on, the then 21-year-old headed in as England thrashed their opponents 4-0.
“I’m just proud. A dream come true,†he said after the match. “It’s a special night and definitely one I won’t forget. It’s what you dream of as a kid, it’s a bit of a daze and I’m enjoying every minute of it.â€
Kane may have been a few years older than some of the youngsters who are breaking into the senior squad at the age of 18.
But he’s certainly made up for any lost time.
