Harry Kane has revealed the moment he found out about his New Year's honours saying he thought it was bad news, not good.
The England striker and captain, who led the team to the semi-finals of the World Cup over the summer, and won the Golden Boot for his six goals in the process, has been awarded an MBE by the Queen in her honours list.
And the 25-year-old has lifted the lid on how he found out - when his partner called him before Tottenham's 3-1 win over Southampton at the start of December.
Kane said: "We got a letter to the house. Kate [his fiancee] opened the letter. It was before the Southampton game.
"Normally we'd talk a little but she would never call me just before the match. I had a missed call and she texted me 'could you answer?'
"I thought something was wrong! But Kate was excited and told me that we'd had a letter from the Queen saying we'd get an MBE.
" I’m proud for her as well and the whole family. It’s not just for me."
“We’re part of a journey together. It shows that the hard work has paid off.”
Kane's England manager Gareth Southgate also received an MBE. He said: "I'm an incredibly proud Englishman so having had the opportunity to have represented my country as a player more than 50 times and then to manage the team at a World Cup has been an absolute privilege."
