He was top scorer with six goals in Russia but the team was knocked out after a 2-1 loss to Croatia in the semi-finals.

Kane attended the ceremony with his fiancee and his parents. “A real honour and an enormously proud day for me and my family,” he tweeted.

“A massive thanks to my England teammates and coaching staff.”
