Harry Kane: England fans' 'Wonderwall' moment ranks among career bests

England captain Harry Kane has called the moment thousands of England fans sang Oasis's "Wonderwall" after their 4-2 World Cup victory over Croatia one of his favorite career moments. The forward highlighted the strong emotional connection between the team and supporters.

“

That was one of my favourite ever moments in an England shirt and especially at a major tournament. I know it's just the first game and we're not getting carried away, but that emotional connection with the fans, we know how much it means to them.

"That was one of my favourite ever moments in an England shirt and especially at a major tournament," Kane told the Lions' Den, England's in-house show. "I know it's just the first game and we're not getting carried away, but that emotional connection with the fans, we know how much it means to them."

Kane, who matched David Beckham's record of 115 international appearances for England on Wednesday, also drew level with Gary Lineker on 10 World Cup goals for the Three Lions after scoring twice against Croatia. He mentioned receiving a congratulatory voice note from Beckham after the game.

“

I think they see how much it means to us. We have that connection right now, but that moment, singing 'Wonderwall' in the stadium, everyone knew the words, was really special.

The captain expressed his determination, along with his teammates, to provide more memorable moments for the fans during the World Cup. He noted the squad's hunger, desire, and excitement, emphasizing a shared focus on performing when called upon, despite strong competition for places.

“

David sent me a nice voice note before the game and after the game. He just congratulated me on getting to 115. He said he knows how hard it is to be that consistent and to reach that many caps.
