Tim Sherwood has recalled the time he was instructed to ‘get rid’ of Harry Kane while Tottenham manager.Kane has 266 goals for Tottenham, tied with Jimmy GreavesHowever the striker’s potential was called into doubt by members of Tottenham’s hierarchy
Before ‘making it’ with Tottenham, the England skipper spent time on loan with Leyton Orient, Millwall, Norwich and Leicester, but according to Sherwood, Kane hadn’t showed enough during these spells which led to some bold instructions from upstairs., Sherwood said: “Every manager that took Harry on loan said he wouldn’t make it. There wasn’t one who said he would. If they tell you different, they’re lying. I’m not knocking that. It was their opinion at the time.
“At Millwall in 2012, there was an intense atmosphere. But that was exactly what he needed. For him to keep putting that shirt on when he hadn’t scored, only to end up being named Millwall’s Young Player of the Year, showed the character of the boy. “Franco Baldini was sporting director and he wrote off Harry, saying he wasn’t good enough for the Premier League. Tottenham wanted me to get rid of him.
