Harry Kane has revealed how his career at boyhood club Tottenham almost never happened following a failed six-week trial as an 11-year-old.

On Sunday, in a live Q&A interview with Sportsmail's Jamie Redknapp on Instagram, Kane was asked a series of questions about his time in football to date and where it all started for him.

The 26-year-old - now one of the most prolific strikers in the club's history - revealed how Tottenham initially turned him away as a youngster before proving to them that he had what it takes.
