Harry Kane is great role model. As well as being a world class footballer, England captain and all time record goalscorer for England, he’s also a decent bloke. Here he is showing his appreciation to his wife, Kate Goodland after receiving the Ballon D’or.
Fully deserved Harry!
Where do I begin? That was an evening I'll never forget.
It’s an incredible honour to receive the Ballon d’Or award after a year full of goals, trophies and special milestones. Thank you to all the staff and my teammates at @england and @fcbayern, as well as family, friends and everyone who’s supported me – this wouldn’t be possible without you all.
Thank you to everyone who has sent a kind message, social media post - I appreciate every single one of them.
This will live long in the memory. 🙌🏆❤️

France is in flames (yet he wants to rejoin the EU).
Trump is selling out Ukraine, cosying up to Putin again
A cost-of-living crunch is looming this winter, especially fuel bills.

Inflation is rising once more, as are interest rates.
Russian forces are threatening our infrastructure, especially undersea data and energy links.
The Strait of Hormuz remains closed, our Gulf allies are under attack.
And PM Burnham drivels about this!!
It’s like the opening sketch from Saturday Night Live.
