WHAT KANE SAID
Speaking to, Kane said: "That's one of the best compliments ever. In today's game, there's so much talk about great talent and great skills and moments and things like that. But the basic for any young striker is to work hard. That's the most important thing. I enjoy defending as much as attacking. It may be rare, but that's how my parents raised me, and that will never change. As long as I'm playing, that will be my attitude"
