Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane who is topping the goal chart at the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia, recently shared a throw back picture of himself, his partner and childhood hero David Beckham.

The forward shared a throwback picture showing himself with his partner Kate Goodland as they met his childhood hero David Beckham while attending the launch of the former England international's academy in London in 2005.

Kane and Kate also attended Chingford Foundation School, the same school that Beckham attended as a youngster.

Though, they were mere friends back then in school, their friendship blossomed into a relationship, which Kane confirmed publicly in 2015.

And they both welcomed their first child Ivy in January 2017 and Harry popped the question in June of the same year.

However, the couple are expecting their second child this year according Kane after making the news known earlier this year.

While posting the picture of his daughter Ivy on Twitter, he said that: "Our beautiful Ivy is going to be a big sister! Exciting times ahead."

Former head of PE as well as the assistant head of school Mark Leadon revealed how the 24-year-old drive and mentality has helped him to reach the height of his career in English football, just like Beckham.

The school is filled with framed match-worn jerseys and memorabilia from Beckham, Kane and also Crystal Palace's Dwight Gayle, another former pupil.

And they believe that Kane showed signs of success during his time at the school.

"Harry was always dedicated and driven to succeed. When he played for the school, he gave it everything. He scored a lot of goals and we had a very successful team and he was outstanding," he told the Daily Mail back in 2015.

Leadon says that there was no arrogance in Kane both on and off the pitch.

He says that Kane was more than just a prolific goalscorer, he was a team player and that has shone through in his success for Tottenham.

Leadon added: "He was always technically gifted and a real team player. He didn’t expect to be treated differently. He wasn’t one to keep the ball if a pass was on. He was never like that.

"Going through school, he was never egotistic. He was a normal pupil. He was also a very good cricketer, who opened the bowling for the school and batted at No 4."
