Easy, easy, England..
Alli and Kane check their phones in the ice bath during team recovery session yesterday AN Irish cousin of Harry Kane has said the rural pub and village where he has his family roots will be a frenzy of World Cup excitement on Saturday and she is hoping for more Swede success.
The Three Lions skipper’s late grandad Michael John, from Letterfrack, Co Galway, emigrated to England as a teenager – and locals are now enjoying free pints every time the 24-year-old Spurs striker scores.
Molly’s Bar has given away hundreds of free drinks – with
Harry now on course for the
Golden Boot with six goals and cousins Liz, Yvonne and
Mark Kane are leading the celebrations.
The footballer’s dad Patrick HARRY Kane and Dele Alli chill out in an ice bath yesterday.
They took the plunge in a recovery session in Repino while teammates relaxed elsewhere.
Kyle Walker posted a shot doing stretches, saying: “Still stuck in this position but cramp has gone.”
And Jesse Lingard shared a joke pretending to phone his mum saying: “I’m not coming home”.
Meanwhile, Harry Maguire was out “exploring” with his girlfriend.
Kane’s fiancee Kate Goodland wasn’t kidding when she posted on Tuesday he had #ballsofsteel. FOOTWORK Kyle Walker pokes fun at match cramp and brother Charlie are regular visitors, while the England striker has come to the area several times.
Liz and Yvonne, two awardwinning traditional fiddle players, are regulars in Molly’s. Looking ahead to the crunch quarter-final with Sweden on Saturday, Liz said: “Oh I will be a bag of nerves. We’ll probably Yvonne and Liz Kane be up and down on the seat and in and out of the pub. But fingers crossed.
“I’ll be in Molly’s with my sister Yvonne and my brother Mark. If we get there and England are after winning and Harry’s after scoring there will be some party.
“It’s five years since Harry was back for his grandad’s funeral. They used to all come as kids.”
