Harry Kane wins the Ballon d'or

[Top of the JES]

Obviously down to his O's loan spell I guess Bayern will take the credit but we all know......

[E10quence]

We made him.

Very well deserved.

[MalvoliO]

Russell Slade got a mention in Kane's acceptance speech.

[The Mindsweep]

So proud that I witnessed his only ever sending off in his career at Huddersfield.

[L.Orient]

To think a former O has just won an award for the world's best men player. All down to us, of course

[o-no]

I always say “ex-Orient” when he scores for England. Winds up the kids no end.

[Rich Tea Wellin]

Remarkable really. Remember seeing his first pro goal but never thought he’d make the prem nevermind the best player in the world. Hard work pays off

Don’t think you need to say men. We know he’s a man.

The most un-Ballon d'Or player of the last decade or so, yet no less deserving.

Agreed although Lewandowski definitely would’ve won it in 2020 but it was cancelled because of Covid

The first Ridgeway Rovers player to go on and win Ballon D'Or.

[DuvB]

I was there too. So many of us never thought he would be more than a decent Championship player

I was there too, at the end of the season I remember thinking Tom Carroll was the better prospect that we should be trying to get back again.

[Dunners]

It just goes to show that there's hope for the rest of us yet.

[Max B Gold]

When does he get his Sirhood?

[EliotNes]

When he was a Spurs player I used to like winding Spurs supporters up by telling them I saw him score his first senior goal.

And, yes, I wasn't the only one who thought Carroll and M'poku were better players at that time in their careers.

[VeganO]

Absolutely deserved. He's been particularly outstanding since he moved to the Bundesliga.
Unusually loyal for a top player bearing in mind how long he stayed at Spurs. He would have won a good many more trophies but he opted to keep playing for Spurs.

Saw the goal he scored away to P.N.E & Thats when I Knew, when you watch a clip of that header 100 plus times from an impossible angle & you're still scratching your head wondering How.

I think everyone would have picked Carroll and M'Poku ahead of Kane based on their loan spells, but he was very decent at 17 although he needed to bulk up, I wasn't surprised to see him make it at Spurs given his ability but he proved us all wrong by going a lot further than that, England would/will be lost when he retires. Good on you Harry!

Yup he really took his physical conditioning above and beyond what anyone expected. His commitment to improvement is the model all young players should follow, well done Harry hard work pays off

[faldO]

So well deserved, he's a brilliant footballer and a lovely person too.

Let's hope he sees out his professional career at Brisbane Road.

[Friend or faux]

He got congratulated by the PM at Question Time. The Orient got a mention too ( Is this a first? ). Something along the lines of "from scoring for Orient to winning Ballon d'Or."

[The Mindsweep]

Charlie has scored for Orient.....he couldn't, could he?

Got to be a gag in there somewhere about "Ballon d'Orient" surely?
