Kelly Somers has lifted the lid on the electric post-match interview with Harry Kane, a scene-stealing exchange that will be etched in the memories of football fans for years to come. The England captain's throat-shredding rendition of Oasis's 'Wonderwall' had him croaking like a frog as he attempted to discuss tactics with Somers live on air.
The viral sensation that followed saw millions unite in their delight at Kane's sing-song efforts, with even the normally stoic pundits back in the BBC studio in hysterics. It was, as former Three Lions star Wayne Rooney so aptly put it, 'the best interview I've ever seen'.
The 3-0 win over Mexico at the Azteca Stadium had been a game of few nerves for England, but its backdrop – the high-altitude stadium and torrential rain – made for an unpredictable challenge. Somers described the atmosphere as 'like nothing I've ever experienced before', with the Mexico City crowd's infectious energy driving both teams forward.
The interview's impact was instantaneous, with social media platforms ablaze with reaction from fans, pundits, and even Liam Gallagher himself. The Oasis frontman couldn't resist having a laugh at Kane's expense on X, poking fun at his singing skills. At the time of writing, the clip has racked up an astonishing 81 million views.
Somers, no stranger to football's biggest stages herself, confessed that this encounter was one for the books – 'I've interviewed hundreds of players, but never one like Harry Kane in that moment'. It was a matchday moment that will be remembered long after the final whistle blows on England's World Cup campaign.
