London - In the increasingly cosmopolitan English Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur's home-grown fan favourite Harry Kane represents something of a British throwback.
Born in Walthamstow, north London, five miles (eight kilometres) from Tottenham's White Hart Lane stadium, and raised in a Spurs-supporting family, Kane joined the club's academy aged 11 and has been there ever since.
Now 21, he is the revelation of the current English season and will spearhead Spurs' attack against Chelsea in Sunday's League Cup final at Wembley, the biggest game to date in the career of a player hailed by the club's fans as "one of our own".
