Harry Kane Statue Finds Permanent Home in East London

After years in storage, the statue of England's football captain is unveiled at Peter May Sports Centre.

  • The £7,200 statue of Harry Kane was commissioned by Waltham Forest Council and had been in storage for nearly five years due to difficulties in finding a suitable location.
  • The statue, depicting Kane sitting with a football in his lap, is now permanently installed at the Peter May Sports Centre in Walthamstow, London.
  • Initial plans to install the statue at Chingford station and Ridgeway Park were abandoned due to safety concerns and other logistical issues.
  • Harry Kane expressed pride in the statue, hoping it will inspire young players, and reflected on his career starting in Walthamstow.
  • Kane recently contributed to England's 5-0 victory over Ireland, further solidifying his status as England's all-time top goal scorer with 69 goals.
