Marshall said the club was considering paying tribute to Kane’s Ballon d’Or on their kit.

“We’re very proud of that fact,” he said. “We’re a club that produced a Ballon d’Or player… there’s not many of them about.”

Stanley, who plays centre midfield for the Ridgeway Rovers Under 10s Tigers, said he wanted to follow Kane’s success.

“It’s an inspiration for the whole team to follow on his journey,” he said.

“[England] are really lucky because without Harry Kane they would be nowhere.”

George, who plays centre back, left-mid and right-mid, said he hoped to become a professional football player and reach Kane’s standard.

“I was actually sleeping when he won the Ballon d’Or, but when I first heard I was like, ‘Get in there’,” he said.

“It makes me believe that I can do it and all my other friends can do it as well.”
