TIM SHERWOOD: Tottenham wanted me to GET RID of Harry Kane! Andre Villas-Boas and Franco Baldini wrote him off - as did every manager who took him on loan - but his biggest attribute was always between his ears

Every kid at every club needs someone to back him and I take huge pride in seeing Harry Kane equal Jimmy Greaves' record for Tottenham, having given him his opportunity all those years ago.

You get these trophy managers going into clubs with their heads on the block and the perception is kids will let you down. I've always maintained that is a misconception.

A £100million signing will let you down, too. If the kid is doing the right things in training, back him. That's what happened with Harry.
