‘Kane in the NFL would be no surprise’ – Ex-Spurs & London Monarchs star Allen backs career change

The former Tottenham frontman swapped soccer for American Football when hanging up his boots and believes a current striker could follow his lead

Tottenham striker Harry Kane starring as an NFL kicker in the years to come would come as no surprise to Clive Allen, who once made his own switch from soccer to gridiron.

Back in the 1990s, the ex-Spurs frontman took in a stint with NFL Europe side the London Monarchs.

He had called time on his career as a prolific footballer by then, with the decision taken to swap the European variety of the game for the American one.
