Harry Kane: Throwback to When Tottenham Hotspur Star Played As Goalkeeper

• Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane has had immense success in scoring and creating goals at the top level
• He will be England's beacon of hope when the World Cup takes centre stage in Qatar later in November
• However, the acclaimed striker once volunteered to play as a goalkeeper after Hugo Lloris had been red-carded in a Europa League game

Harry Kane has built a reputation for himself as one of the most potent strikers in world football. The Tottenham Hotspur man has been a regular source of goals for his side since he made his debut officially in 2015, after various loan spells.

He is also a revered playmaker who has the ability to drop deep and supply passes. His partnership with Son Heung-min has been unplayable in the Premier League.

However, Kane has also played as a goalkeeper - albeit under forceful circumstances. As he was just starting to get into sync with life at a top-six club in 2014, Kane was forced to play as a goalkeeper for a few minutes.

Spurs were playing Greek opposition Asteras Tripolis in the group stages of the Europa League. Kane had just bagged a hat-trick, but in the 87th minute, goalkeeper Hugo Lloris was given a red card.

With Spurs having used all their substitutes, Kane volunteered to stand in for the remaining minutes. The England international conceded a goal late on, but the game was already safe with a 5-1 scoreline in favour of the North London side.

As Goal reports, other outfield players to have stepped in as goalkeepers include Kyle Walker, Rio Ferdinand, Dani Alves and John O'Shea.
