He said: “I want to say thank you to Tottenham Hotspur as well. I would not be where I am today without Tottenham. You allowed me to live my dream.”

Dele Alli, Tim Sherwood, Mathys Tel and others react as Tottenham legend Harry Kane wins Ballon d’Or
Spurs Web has already covered Heung-min Son’s touching reaction to Kane’s Ballon d’Or win, and the South Korean is far from the only former Tottenham man to give a touching reaction.
Dele Alli admitted that he got very emotional when the 33-year-old won the award, insisting that no one deserved it more than the England captain, given how hard he has worked throughout his career.
Dele said on Samham’s Twitch Channel: “No one deserves this more than him. I was close to tears. This guy, bro, you know how hard he works? He deserves this more than anyone. I don’t give a f**k what anyone says. H came for the win, let’s go chat!!”
Meanwhile, Mathys Tel reposted Tottenham’s ‘One of our Own’ post about Kane on his Instagram stories, and Tim Sherwood was beaming at the Ballon d’Or trophy like he had won it himself.

A whole host of Kane’s other former Tottenham teammates also congratulated him, with Lucas Moura commenting on the striker’s Instagram: “Very happy for you brother, very well deserved! Congrats H.”
Steven Bergwijn wrote: “Deserved congrats brother”, while Erik Lamela wrote: “Well deserved!! Congrats H!” along with a heart emoji. Jan Vertonghen simply wrote: “Unreal”, while Djed Spence commented with a GOAT emoji.
Additionally, Eric Dier, Ben Davies and Matt Doherty were all seen partying with Kane in London in a nightclub after the ceremony.
The reaction from everyone associated with Spurs shows how much of a class act off the pitch and a trusted teammate Kane was during his time in North London.
It also shows just how big the bond was between the Tottenham players during the Mauricio Pochettino era, with many relationships still being intact.
