Geoff Hurst: Harry Kane can be England main man for years

Daily Mail  

World Cup winner Sir Geoff Hurst believes Harry Kane is the man to replace Wayne Rooney as England's number one striker as he enters the peak years of his career. Sir Geoff Hurst believes Harry Kane can replace Wayne Rooney as England's top striker 'There is a period in everybody's career where for six or seven years you are at your best, you are young enough to run through a brick wall and know how to play the game and score goals,' Hurst, speaking at a McDonald's and FA Community Football Day in Bookham, told Press Association Sport 'He's had a couple of years scoring the goals for Spurs and England and you would assume, all things being equal, Harry Kane will be around the way he is performing now for the next six-odd years at the very least.' England legend Hurst has faith Kane can step up and be the man for the Three Lions The World Cup winner was giving his view during an FA community day with McDonald's 'Alf took over in 1963 and we won it three years later, but there wasn't that expectation we were going to win it in '66. Sir Geoff Hurst was speaking at the McDonald's and FA Community Football Day in Bookham, celebrating 15 years of McDonald's partnering with the four UK home nations and supporting grassroots football.
