Harry Kane Called Goran Eriksson Deserves To Be On The Gold Generation List Of The England National Team

JAKARTA - Goran Eriksson passed away on Monday, August 26, 2024, after battling pancreatic cancer.

However, the story in the world of football never dies, including the most phenomenal is when he joined the England national team.

Goran Eriksson said the England national team in the period 2001-2006 when the squad was inhabited by the golden generation.

Over time, it turned out that Eriksson had found a new figure that was suitable to be included in his golden generation.

The name in question is Harry Kane, long after Eriksson had not coached the England national team.

Korban Goran Eriksson revealed that Kane is the only British mainstay player worth adding to the list of teams of the golden generation.

"If there's one player I want to have to play with the England national team (gold generation), it's very easy, Harry Kane."

"He is a gold goalscorer, wherever he plays and you always need him. He's not just a goalscorer. He's a player on target."

"He can make assists. He is big, has good headers, good feet, is strong, not the fastest in the world, but fast."

"He has everything and could be the one to win the World Cup for England. Every team needs players like that."

"Only one of them, he's very special. I like him. I think he will be one of the most important players for England," Eriksson told BoyleSports last year.

Harry Kane is England's all-time top scorer. He has scored 66 goals in 97 appearances.

He surpassed Wayne Rooney's tally (53 goals/120 appearances) and legend Sir Bobby Charlton (49 goals/106 appearances).

Kane made a new history when he moved to Bayern Munich from Tottenham Hotspur last season. The 31-year-old striker scored 36 goals in a Bundesliga 2023/2024 season.

The record broke the Bundesliga's record for most goalscorers for 60 years.

This achievement made Eriksson want to include Kane's name in the golden generation he leads.

As is known, Goran Eriksson led the British golden generation inhabited by players such as Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard, Rio Ferdinand, Paul Schholes, David Beckham, and Michael Owen.
