Tottenham Hotspur and England striker Harry Kane has been recognised for his services to football by being awarded an MBE after leading the national team to the semi-finals of the 2018 World Cup and winning the Golden Boot.

The 25-year-old, who was named captain by Gareth Southgate scored six goals at the tournament last summer, netting a hat-trick against Panama, a brace against Tunisia, and a further effort in the last-16 victory over Colombia.

England then overcame Sweden in the quarter-finals to spark joyous celebrations across the nation and in the semis they took Croatia to extra time, although they could not vanquish their opponents in the final four, before eventually finishing fourth after losing to Belgium in the third-place playoff.

Kane was presented with the MBE by Prince William at Buckingham Palace, and is the second member of the England World Cup contingent to have been honoured by the Queen, with manager Gareth Southgate given an OBE for his efforts in coaching the national team.
