Who are Harry Kane Parents?
Harry Kane’s parents are Patrick Kane and Kim Kane. He was born in London on 28 July 1993 and grew up in Chingford with his parents. His father, Pat, is originally from County Galway in Ireland, while his mother, Kim, was born and raised in London. They married in London in 1986. Harry has one older brother named Charlie.
During England’s win over Germany in EURO 2020, Harry Kane’s family felt overwhelming pride. His great aunt Bette Bovington, who is 81, was so nervous watching the match that she kept switching channels because she struggles to watch family members play. She said she was delighted he scored and believes his late grandfather Eric Hogg would have been looking down proudly. She said, “Sometimes when Harry scores he looks up to the sky, and I always think he’s giving a little wave to Eric.”
She also talked about Eric Hogg, Harry’s maternal grandfather. Eric played semi-pro football in the 1960s and was the youngest of eight siblings, five of whom were football-obsessed. The eldest brother even started a youth team in Islington during the Second World War, and his name was Harry. When Harry Kane was born, Eric visited him in the hospital and joked, “He’s either going to be a gangster or a brilliant footballer.”
Harry has said before that his sporting ability comes from his mum’s side. He once said, “I think my grandad Eric on my mum’s side was quite a good footballer and played at a decent level.”
Harry Kane’s Father – Patrick Kane
Patrick Kane’s Irish background is an important part of the family story. He was born in Galway before his family moved to London, and Harry has spoken about how his grandparents on his father’s side were Irish. He once said, “My nana and grandad were Irish on my dad’s side, so I had that decision… but for me I always wanted to play for England. That was my dream.”
Patrick Kane’s father, Michael John Kane, came from Letterfrack in Galway. When he passed away in 2013, he was taken back to Letterfrack to be buried there, and many of Harry’s extended relatives still live in that part of Ireland.
Harry Kane’s Mother – Kim Kane
Kim Kane’s side of the family has football ties. Her father, Eric Edward Hogg, played semi-pro football for Blundell Rovers in the 1960s and later for Brentwood and Warley. Harry once acknowledged this by saying, “I think my grandad Eric on my mum’s side was quite a good footballer and played at a decent level.”
Kim’s side also traces back to the United States. One of her ancestors, Louisa Damerell, born in Devon in 1838, moved to Massachusetts and appears in the 1920 U.S. Census. Several other relatives also settled in Essex County, Massachusetts.
