Sarnia Cherie Posted October 26 Posted October 26 (edited) Well deserved win for Harry Kane. A great footballer and a decent family man. A positive role model for young lads today. Edited October 26 by Sarnia Cherie Add words 32
Lighthouse Posted October 26 Posted October 26 Thoroughly deserved, you have to say. In an alternate universe he might well have ended up playing for us, if J Rod hadn’t landed awkwardly at the Etihad. 1
SNSUN Posted October 26 Posted October 26 Well deserved - I really don't think he could have done much more over the last year or two to prove he's one of the very best in the game. I would have put Mbappe close but to be a traditional centre forward and bang in as many as he has done is amazing. And, as has been said, he is a good role model, family man and seems to be quite humble. Every now and again I point out to the wife that the only club he's played for and never scored for is Norwich. I'll remind her again in the morning.
Colinjb Posted October 26 Posted October 26 Amazing, from dodgy loan spells at Leicester, Norwich and Millwall to utterly catching fire. A model pro and credit to our country. One of the best players in our nation's history.
Nordic Saint Posted October 27 Posted October 27 (edited) Thoroughly deserved. He is a fantastic footballer. He's so much more than just a goal scorer. His passing is sublime, he reads the game so well and he inspires the players around him. This year, we're really getting to see just how good his technical ability is now that he's playing in a deeper role. What a great role model he is. Edited October 27 by Nordic Saint

Has the same goal celebration as J-Rod (the one where he jumps up).
Stripey McStripe Shirt Posted October 27 Posted October 27 Good achievement. Did Finn Azaz come second? Also massive congratulations to Alexia Putellas of London City Lionesses for winning the women's award. Fantastic for the WSL. 1
Kenilworthy1959 Posted October 27 Posted October 27 Will always be grateful for the handball at Millwall in 2012 that gave us the winning penalty. 1 1
whelk Posted October 27 Posted October 27 People keep saying he is a great role model but on the Spurs documentary series he swore a lot and I was quite upset. 1

Seem to recall the ball was a few metres away from his hand, but let's keep quiet about that in case Boro decide it's worth of a retrospective points deduction.

Also did anyone notice the skin colour of the people who finished second and third? Typical racist FIFA giving it to the white guy.
JohnnyShearer2.0 Posted October 27 Posted October 27 Well deserved. He's been so consistent over the last two years.

iansums Posted October 27 Posted October 27 Agree with all of this, thoroughly deserved. A mention too for Bukayo Saka and his 'Socrates' award, another great role model.

Holmes_and_Watson Posted October 27 Posted October 27 42 minutes ago, Tamesaint said: While Bree is deservedly the first player to get the award while playing for Saints, he's not the first Saints player to have won it, with Keegan getting it twice in the '70s (78 and 79). Also, we got the reflected glory of winner George Weah's definite cousin Ali Dia playing for us. I wonder if they'd already decided on Bree before yet another cracking goal at the weekend. 1
St Louis Posted October 27 Posted October 27 Did you know... Harry Kane was once on loan at Saints? At least, according to John Motson and MOTD 🤔 1 1

Saint Matty 76 Posted October 27 Posted October 27 Seems a really good bloke and definitely the best English player of my lifetime. A huge shame he's never got over the line internationally, and always disappointed somewhat in the big moments, but you'd assume he has one (perhaps two) more opportunity/opportunities to correct that. If he can finish his career with an international trophy and a Champions League, he probably goes down as the best English footballer ever?

Little did anyone know he’d be voted the best player in the world 15 years later. Shame he doesn’t have more trophies to his name, he deserves them. Hopefully he can lift the European Championship at Wembley in 2 years. 1

They gave it to a black player last year.

Swearing, although sometimes is upsetting, is useful to the user to add further emphasis on the point he/she/ they are trying to make. Swearing at times is also useful if you are trying to have a conversation with someone who is of a lower social demographic to yourself. I can provide examples if required.

Channons Windmill Posted October 28 Posted October 28 Harry Kane. First Ballon d’or winner to have come on as sub vs Yeovil Town.
Saint_John Posted October 28 Posted October 28 I thought Harry's hand of god in the 88th min when he was on loan at Millwall was the best. That was the season when we went up second, but had been showing signs of the pressure and WHU were getting close in 3rd. Well done Harry a 88min Pen to win the game for us. About 6min in 2

Not entirely sure but when KK was playing for Scunthorpe in the lower divisions Yeovil were still non-league. So in the absence of any known cup ties it seems unlikely. Just a hunch, feel free to correct me.

Yeovil Town weren’t a League club until 2003 and I don’t think they even had a cup game with Scunthorpe before then so don’t think they played each other until that year in any format.
