Harry Kane became the first Englishman in 25 years to win the Ballon d'Or on Monday thanks to his prolific scoring last season. Kane scored 73 goals for club and country last season - he was Europe's top scorer - and smashed scoring records in Germany and at the World Cup, where he captained England to a third-place finish.

The Bayern Munich star says the achievement was built on so much more. "Anything is possible with hard work, when no one else is watching, to go through the ups and downs, to learn through resilience, determination and self-belief," an emotional Kane said in a message to young boys and girls, after reflecting on his early career struggles.
