English skipper Harry Kane is a game away from taking home two honors. If he scores against Spain in the UEFA Euro final, he will take home the Golden Boot for the tournament’s top scorer. And if England wins, the veteran striker will end a decade-long trophy drought and achieve redemption. Speaking of the Golden Boot, Kane has become habitual to bagging this award for both club and country. He arrived at the Euros fresh off becoming the German league’s top scorer with Bayern Munich. What is powering the goal machine in Kane? Well, it is his genes.
Harry Kane is just carrying forward a rich soccer tradition he inherited from his mother Kim’s side, via his grandfather. Want to know more about that? Here we go and let’s also delve deeper into Kane’s father Patrick’s details.

Harry Kane’s father Patrick Kane is of Irish descent. He reportedly hails from a family of musicians. Anyhow, it is unclear if Patrick too is a musician and we are also not aware of what his profession is. The English captain’s father then migrated to London, where he would find love in a British woman named Kim. Patrick and Kim exchanged marital vows in 1986. The Irish-English duo welcomed Harry Kane as their second son in 1993. The family would later move to Chingford in London. There, Kane attended the same school as David Beckham and chanced to meet with the English legend in a school camp.

Two main men, her father, and her son, in Kim Kane’s life are footballers. Kim’s father, Eric Edward Hogg, and his brothers were intense soccer fanatics. As coincidence would have it, it was a brother named ‘Harry’ who introduced soccer to Hogg and others. Harry also founded a youth soccer club in Islington, North London. Eric Hogg later ventured into semi-professional soccer, playing for Blundell Rovers in the 1960s. Stories have it that Hogg bizarrely stated that his grandson Harry Kane would become a criminal or an iconic soccer player in his life. Fortunately, the second prophecy turned right.
Besides the England captain, Patrick and Kim also have another son named Charlie Kane. Let’s discover who he is.

Who is Harry Kane’s brother?
Harry Kane was raised with his elder brother, Charlie Kane. It is unclear when Patrick and Kim welcomed the eldest child. Charlie has not ventured into soccer like his grandfather and his younger brother Harry. But if it were not for Charlie’s services, the Bayern Munich star would have had a tough time managing things off the court. Charlie Kane is Harry Kane’s agent. He founded the London-based client management agency CK66 in 2018 and manages Harry Kane’s soccer-related affairs via this organization.

Besides, Charlie is also the director of the Harry Kane Company. The company manages the England striker’s soccer deals, businesses, and charity endeavors. Speak of a fruitful partnership between brothers, if the Kane brothers’ partnership is not ideal, we don’t know what else is. Now that the 30-year-old is leading the Three Lions to chase their first trophy in 58 years, we could expect the Kane family to grace the stands in Berlin.
Debate
Does Harry Kane owe his soccer prowess more to his mom's rich soccer background or his dad's support?
