Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane is currently on international duty with England.
Harry Redknapp has stated that Tottenham ace Harry Kane is a ‘class act’ just like England 1966 World Cup winning captain Bobby Moore used to be.
Centre-back Moore led the Three Lions to their greatest ever triumph over 50 years ago and is regarded as one of the countries greatest ever footballers.
Striker Kane will have to go a long way to match the feats of the West Ham legend, but he did lead the line as Gareth Southgate’s side reached the semi-finals of the 2018 World Cup.
Former Premier League manager, Redknapp, who would have watched Moore when he was at his best compared the England legend to Kane.
“He’s just a class act, on and off the field,” Redknapp told Sky Sports. “People said the same about Bobby Moore – a great captain and leader.
“He’s a great guy, a perfect role model. He gets on with his football and trains hard, works hard. You never see anything bad about him; he’s a family man.”
There is no doubt that Kane is one of the most respected figures in the game and it is a big reason why Southgate has handed him the England armband.
The Tottenham academy graduate will be preparing himself for his side’s Euro 2020 qualifiers against the Czech Republic and then a trip to Montenegro.
Southgate will be well aware that his team will need to up their game once again when they reach the next major tournament because a lot will be expected of the players.
It has been over five decades since the England national side triumphed, but after their performance at the World Cup in Russia and the crop of youngsters coming through, many feel this is the time to end that barren run.
