David Beckham shares photo of Harry Kane aged 11 in his Three Lions shirt and roars ‘lead us captain’

David Beckham shared a photo of a young Harry Kane in his No7 shirt today as he roared: “Lead us Captain”.

The hopes of the nation are resting on Kane as he leads the Three Lions out at Wembley tonight against Italy for their first final since 1966.

And a never-before-seen photo shows the skipper proving he was captain material when he was just 11 as he posed in a David Beckham England shirt.

Another East End lad, Beckham actually attended the same school as Kane, Chingford Foundation School – known locally as Nevin.

And the former Utd player shared the snap today on his Instagram, writing: “Lead us captain”.

The picture – obtained exclusively by The Sun – was taken as Kane, now 27, and pals enjoyed a trip to the fishing village of Keyhaven in Hampshire.

While a Euro final might have seem far-fetched at the time, Kane was already an aspiring footballer, who had joined his current club Tottenham on schoolboy terms the previous year.
