"I should like to thank Harry for everything he's done for us, all the memories, all the records -  we wish him and his family all the best for the future. It goes without saying, he's always welcome back. He’s a much loved and valued member of the Spurs family, forever in our history.”

Kane's list of individual honours were outstanding. He won three Golden Boot awards and the Playmaker of the Season award once, in addition he claimed seven EA Sports Player of the Month awards.
