<p>The sight of <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/lionel-messi-freezing-tuesday-night-kansas-inter-miami-superstar-skip-sporting-kc-trip-bitterly-cold-temperatures/blt019b6bab66eebe46" target="_blank">players wrapping up against the elements has become increasingly common</a> in modern football, with many taking to wearing base layers even when the air temperature could be considered relatively mild.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Others like to keep their hands warm despite wearing a short-sleeved shirt, while snoods were briefly a thing before getting banned. Kane has, throughout his record-breaking career, steered well clear of such attire.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>He could be considered quite old school in his approach, as a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/lionel-messi-freezing-tuesday-night-kansas-inter-miami-superstar-skip-sporting-kc-trip-bitterly-cold-temperatures/blt019b6bab66eebe46" target="_blank">throwback No.9 whose entire game is based around the ability to score goals</a>, and the 32-year-old frontman is not about to change his ways.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Kane has told his <a href="https://www.cleats.club/ " target="_blank"><em>Cleats Club</em></a> channel when asked about his decision to keep arms and hands exposed: “It’s just something I’ve done from a young age and have just stuck with it throughout my whole career.</p><p>“When you are out there playing, you are kind of warm anyway. Sometimes in the warm-up or just after we come back out from half-time it’s pretty cold - especially here in Germany, the winter is really cold and snowy - but I’m just used to it now and it’s something I have done for many years.”</p>

WHAT KANE SAID

<p>Kane <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/how-nfl-goat-tom-brady-inspired-harry-kane-trophy-quest-bayern-munich-striker-breaking-silverware-curse-mindset-super-bowl-winner/blt91ef070914167bb5" target="_blank">broke his trophy duck with Bayern in 2024-25 when becoming a Bundesliga title winner</a> and has hit 85 goals for the German giants through 96 appearances. He is also the all-time leading scorer for Tottenham and England, with the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/how-nfl-goat-tom-brady-inspired-harry-kane-trophy-quest-bayern-munich-striker-breaking-silverware-curse-mindset-super-bowl-winner/blt91ef070914167bb5" target="_blank">target being found on 73 occasions for the Three Lions</a>.</p>
