Kane, after all, has matched Owen's 19 goals in 2001-03 – the BT Sport co-commentator’s best-ever total in a Premier League season – with eight games to spare. Yet he must, at the very least, do it for another season prove it is not a fluke, or a one-off, before he can even be considered a reason for England supporters to be chipper.Įven so, that does not mean he shouldn't be celebrated, or that he can't do it. The expectation on him is up there with Owen, and Rooney, and Shearer.

Kane has been just as fearless this year. 'From one game to the next, I didn't even know who I was playing against – they were just names on a teamsheet, not big reputations, and that innocence served me well,' Owen once said. He never looked at the opposition as Manchester United, or Arsenal, or even Argentina. He kept it up at the 1998 World Cup, and did so the season after, too, scoring 18 goals again but in six fewer Premier League appearances. It was he who, in 1997-98, scored 18 goals in 36 appearances in the Barclays Premier League. This is where Kane can take note of Owen. Some believe he will be the next name jotted on that prestigious list, others think he will be found out. Wayne Rooney was one, Alan Shearer another.Īnd now Harry Kane is dividing opinion. Other England strikers created a similar hype. It was a lot for young shoulders to take, yet four-and-a-half months later he scored that goal against Argentina at France '98.
