Tottenham striker Harry Kane grateful for chance to learn trade at Millwall

Tottenham striker Harry Kane has admitted his time on loan at Millwall turned him into a man ahead of the teams' FA Cup quarter-final on Sunday.

Kane spent the second half of the 2011-12 season at the Den when he was yet to break through at Spurs and proved an instant hit with the Lions.

Then 18 years old, he scored seven goals in 22 league appearances in the Championship and was subsequently named Millwall's Young Player of the Year.

Kane would need another two years, including two less successful stints at Norwich and Leicester, before making his name at Tottenham - but the striker believes it was Millwall that toughened him up.
