Royal Marine’s tip to Southgate proved to be making of Kane after gruelling camp

Sponsored by

HARRY KANE was born in Walthamstow but the England captain was made in the Royal Marines – and Glasgow.

As the Three Lions prepare to take on Scotland in a commemorative friendly on Tuesday, Kane recalled the drama of his only previous visit to Hampden Park for a World Cup qualifier in June 2017.

He had been chosen to captain the side for the first time after standing out at a Commando Training Centre boot camp in Devon.

And Kane stood up to be counted on the pitch, too, grabbing a stoppage-time equaliser after two late free-kicks by Leigh Griffiths had cancelled out the opening goal by Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
