Harry Kane wins Ballon d'Or, charms fans on red carpet

mirror.co.uk —

Harry Kane became the first Englishman to win the Ballon d'Or in 25 years, but his pre-ceremony interactions with fans on the red carpet drew significant praise. The 33-year-old Bayern Munich striker scored 61 goals last season, winning the Bundesliga and German Cup, and scored six times for England at the World Cup. Footage showed him greeting fans, signing autographs, and chatting with supporters alongside his wife, Katie Goodland. Kane's victory marked the first for an Englishman since Michael Owen in 2001. He celebrated at a Soho party with family and former Tottenham teammates, and dedicated the award to his Bayern Munich and England colleagues.
