Curious gift – Harry Kane gets a snuff gun

Even a superstar like Harry Kane doesn’t get something like this every day: When he visited a fan club, he received a multifunctional goal scorer cannon.

Smiling and a little questioning, Harry Kane accepted the trophy for his victory at a Bavarian mini-Olympics: a goalscoring cannon with which the Munich star striker could also enjoy snuff. Hundreds of fans in red and white loudly cheered the success, which was celebrated as Kane’s “first title”.

Close to the people and relaxed, the 30-year-old Englishman made his debut at the traditional FC Bayern Munich fan club visits. The trip to the tranquil Kirchweidach in the Upper Bavarian district of Altötting on Sunday turned into a crash course in customs for England’s national team captain. “It was a unique experience, something I’ve never experienced in my career,” said the Englishman.

Kane was crowned champion in a duel with board members in lederhosen, pushing beer mugs, hammering nails and taking a quiz. It didn’t matter that he thought “Dandln” (holding the ball up with your foot) was a Bavarian dance. The 100 million transfer of the summer was able to correctly answer the questions about Schafkopf and Dirndl. He later sang along to a Harry Kane song to the tune of Jingle Bells.

Kane patiently answered many children’s questions and learned that he lets his three-year-old son tunnel him, his favorite food is fillet steak with fries and that he saw his first and only red card at the age of 17. When asked directly whether he was rich, Kane answered refreshingly honestly after a moment’s hesitation: “Yes.” Kane himself learned that when it comes to the lion as England’s heraldic animal, it’s better to hold back among Bayern fans. No fan in Kirchweidach took this seriously.

“I haven’t heard the place name before,” said Kane the day after Bayer Leverkusen’s 0-0 draw against Mönchengladbach. “That was good for us. We have to stay focused, then we have a very good chance of winning a title.” But there is still a long way to go. In the table, Munich are two points behind the Werkself and both are still playing against each other.

Kane had scored again the day before in the 3-2 win against Augsburg after two games without scoring. In a good mood, he answered the many questions at the “Die Roten” fan club, signed autographs and was the subject of countless souvenir photos and films. Around 30 media representatives, including from England, came to the premiere for Kane.
