All hail Harry Kane,

the footballer of the moment. Everyone is suddenly wild about Harry, who married his childhood sweetheart and — praise be — has no tattoos. An England captain who leads by action, not words. Before their first match in the once war-ravaged Russian city of Volgograd, formerly Stalingrad, he was asked if being in such a famous place meant anything. ‘All we can do is play football and the history is what it is,’ he said. It is what it is, indeed. Harry (pictured) has a curious, timeless look. The kind of face you can picture under a helmet at the Battle of Hastings, wreathed in chainmail at the Crusades, or under a powdered wig. He looks at home in any century — and there are not many footballers you can say that about.
