Explaining his choices, Harry Kane spoke about the profound influence each player had on his career and ambitions.

“David Beckham was a big idol of mine growing up,” Kane said.

“He was a great role model and one of England’s greatest players.”

He also highlighted Wayne Rooney’s impact, both as a childhood hero and a teammate. “Watching Rooney growing up, seeing what he did for England, and then playing with him while he was my captain was amazing.”

Kane’s admiration for Brazilian Ronaldo stemmed from his position as a striker.

“I think he’s one of the best to ever do it. He had an incredible mix of goalscoring ability and creativity, making him one of the greatest number nines of all time.”

Rounding off his list was Bobby Moore, a World Cup-winning England captain.

“To win a World Cup as an England captain is inspiring. It’s something I dream of achieving myself,” Kane added.
