MOMENT OF THE MONTH

The moment of the month has to go to Harry Kane, who broke Tottenham’s all time goal scoring record with his early winner against one of his favourite opponents Manchester City, scoring his 267th goal to surpass the late Jimmy Greaves’ record. In doing so the England captain was also able to score his 200th Premier League Goal, becoming only the third player in Premier League history to do so after Alan Shearer and Wayne Rooney.

This was a momentous moment for both Spurs’ history and significant for English football as a whole as fans question whether Kane will go all the way to overtake Shearer’s 260 goal Premier League record. This moment must have come to great relief to Kane who is finally able to see his hard work and struggles as a kid finally start to pay off. Rejected by Arsenal in his youth, the young boy Harry decided to be resolute and work harder to prove those at the Arsenal academy wrong and hoping one day they would regret their decision.

Funnily enough this decision did end up biting them in the backs as Kane became the all-time leading goal scorer in North London Derbies with 14 goals against the team that didn’t give him a chance as a young boy. The story of Kane’s success is one that can be looked upon admirably by anyone dealing with rejection, or a sense of failure. The message is clear – hardwork and resilience will always be the most important factors in achieving any success you desire in life.
