Harry Kane's Ballon d'Or win wasn't easy. This Is Why

Aged eight he risked being written off when he was dropped from Arsenal's youth academy. But Harry Kane persisted and he was taken on by Tottenham Hotspur's academy. He went on to become the club's all-time top scorer, but it didn't result in any trophies for Spurs.

His move to Bayern Munich changed that with him winning the Bundesliga twice so far with his team. Also under his captaincy England have achieved their best result at a World Cup since 1966.

Niall talks to Rob Harris, Sky's sports correspondent about how Harry Kane aged 33, became the first English player to win football's top prize for a player in 25 years.
