‘No trophy like Roo would be big regret’

- BY STEVE BATES

HARRY KANE believes it’ll be a stain on his career if he ends up empty handed with England.

Former Three Lions skipper Wayne Rooney always regretted not winning a trophy with his country — and Kane has revealed he’ll feel the same.

“Yeah, I’d be the same as Wayne if I got to the end of my career and haven’t won a trophy with England. I’d always look back and regret that in the same way he does.

“As captain I feel the pressure of that 100 per cent. But it gives me motivation to be able to win something” said Kane.

“We haven’t won a trophy as a national team for a long time and when you look at the players we’ve produced and have playing year in year out, we have the best in the world.

“The aim for us and the manager when he came in was to become the No.1 side in the world and we have taken steps towards that. We had a great World Cup and with that comes added pressure. But if we want to be the best and win tournament­s we have to cope with that.

“We have to go into finals with full belief in ourselves, which I feel we have, and go onto achieve something special.

“That’s the aim going into Euros. And that’s why I’ve got to do as much as I can as a player, the captain and one of the leaders in the team to help us win something.”

Kane accepts ending 55 years without a title won’t be easy, but he dreams of lifting a major trophy with England.

“Yeah I think it’s hard not to think about that! It’d be hard to put into words what that would mean not just for me but for the whole country itself.” MISSED OUT Rooney finished empty-handed
