Speaking after the game, Kane said
“ I was on the pitch when Wayne broke the record and I know what it meant to him and how proud I was. When I presented him the charge for breaking the record, he said he ’d be giving it back to me one day. He’s a special joe, and England legend. ”
Wayne Rooney has also paid homage to Harry Kane. He twittered;
“ Congratulations to@HKane on getting@England’s all- time leading goalscorer. I knew it would n’t take long but that was quick. Great man, unthinkable goalscorer and an England legend. Congrats Harry ”
Rooney offered a lengthier homage to Kane in The Times. He wrote;
“ When I broke the England goalscoring record, with a penalty against Switzerland in September 2015, Harry Kane was the first player to run over and celebrate with me. I latterly mentioned Harry in the speech I made in the dressing room.
“ I said that I hoped the youthful players in the team would come near to the record themselves, and indeed be suitable to surpass me. Harry had scored only three England pretensions at that point but I said those words because I knew he could do it. Indeed also, with only four caps under his belt, I knew he could come England’s topmost arranger if he kept going the way he was and I wanted to give him stimulant.
“ I'm pleased for him, for his family, and for the England platoon now he has done it, having scored his 54th England thing against Italy on Thursday night. Knowing Harry, it’s not commodity that will go to his head. He'll protest on and, in fact, I believe that when he stops playing he'll leave the England record in a place where it'll be veritably delicate for someone differently to break it.
“ He wants to be like Poland’s Robert Lewandowski, a thing machine who's still at the veritably top in hismid-thirties, and he has it in him to make that be. I suppose Harry will finish with an England pretensions total well into the seventies. ”
