Kane's name is on everyone's lips again – and this time it's not just about his goal-scoring prowess. The England skipper has been touted for a knighthood by none other than Oxfordshire MP Layla Moran, who believes Harry's 'inspirational leadership on and off the pitch' warrants the highest recognition.
The Liberal Democrat MP tabled an early day motion (EDM) in Parliament, which commends Kane's two-goal contribution against DR Congo and acknowledges his record-breaking performance. It's a bold move that's set tongues wagging – not least because Harry has now surpassed Pelé's World Cup goal tally, with 14 strikes in just 16 appearances.
His recent spot-kick against Mexico only added to the mounting evidence of Kane's consistency at the highest level. And yet, despite this impressive record, some are questioning whether it's too soon for such an honour. But with support from five MPs already rolling in – including Ms Moran's own voice on social media – it seems Sir Harry Kane might just be a title that's within his grasp.
The process may seem obscure to non-political wonks, but it's no secret that this is more than just a token gesture. The likes of Beckham, Dalglish and Hurst have set the precedent for footballers receiving knighthoods – so what do you think? Should Kane join their ranks?
Whatever your take on it, one thing's for sure: Harry Kane has earned his place in the annals of English football history. And now, it seems, he might just be earning himself a title fit for a king.
