Harry Kane shows true colours after Tottenham legend gets hero's welcome on Spurs return

It was a moment the Tottenham supporters have been waiting a year for - a chance to say a proper goodbye to Harry Kane. The Spurs legend and the club's all-time top goalscorer left his boyhood club in a £100million move to Bayern Munich last summer.

And on Saturday, the former Spurs star was given a hero's welcome as he returned to north London - the white half at least, he did do the honours and help knock Arsenal out of the Champions League last season - for the first time since that big-money departure.

Kane was not given a start at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, in fact the Spurs fans were forced to wait until the last ten minutes to see their former hero in action.

And he was given a hero's welcome by the thousands inside the stadium in N17 as he came on late on in the game - Spurs' final pre-season friendly before the Premier League kicks off next week.

Kane got a standing ovation from the home supporters, just what his incredible career deserved. Kane, along with Eric Dier, was handed a commemorative gift by fellow Spurs legend Ledley King prior to kick-off, when he also waved and got an ovation from the crowd.

And then after the match, Kane showed his true colours and that his heart remains in Tottenham, by thanking the supporters who have cheered him on for almost the entirety of his football career.

As the preparations were being made in the middle of the pitch for a trophy presentation - this was for the Visit Malta Cup after all - Kane went on a lap of honour. The former Spurs man walked around the entire Tottenham Hotspur Stadium pitch and clapped all the fans who stayed behind to ensure their former hero was given the applause he deserved.

It was a fitting way for Kane to return to his footballing home with emotions high inside the ground.
