World Cup England footballer Harry Kane should be knighted
Layla Moran, Liberal Democrat MP for Oxford West and Abingdon, has tabled an Early Day Motion in Parliament urging that Kane be made Sir Harry Kane.
The striker became England’s all‑time leading World Cup scorer when he headed his 11th tournament goal against Panama on Saturday, June 27, breaking Gary Lineker’s long‑standing record of 10 goals set in 1990.

He then scored two late, match‑saving goals against the Democratic Republic of Congo on Wednesday, July 1, rescuing England’s campaign and sending them into the Round of 16 to face Mexico on Monday, July 6.
Ms Moran says Kane has shown “inspirational leadership on and off the pitch” and deserves formal recognition. So far, she is the only MP to have signed the motion.
