‘For someone who speaks like that, thank God he plays football’: ESPN presenter shamelessly mocks Harry Kane’s speech in now-deleted video – causing fury from fans of ALL clubs on social media

  • Harry Kane scored from the spot as Tottenham beat Brighton on Sunday 
  • But rather than discuss his performance ESPN journalists seemed to mock him
  • Presenter Alexis Nunes said that Kane’s voice ‘is what stands out about him’
  • Mark Ogden and an offscreen producer were also partaking in the discussion 

A presenter from ESPN could be in hot water after appearing to make fun of Tottenham striker Harry Kane‘s voice.

Kane netted once more for Spurs from the penalty spot in a 2-1 victory against Brighton which saw them climb to second in the table.

However, rather than discuss the England captain’s performance on the field,  ESPN FC’s Alexis Nunes and Mark Ogden appeared to mock the way his voice sounds in leaked footage, causing fury across social media.

Ogden began the conversation by stating: ‘Harry Kane, you know he is probably the most…’ before starting to wave his arm before completing the sentence.

Nunes then interjected and said: ‘He’s like “Do I have to talk about this mofo (mother f*****)?”, before Ogden responded: ‘It’s just really boring, isn’t it?’

An offscreen producer then entered the conversation and added: ‘I hate hearing him speak. He’s got a weird voice,’ shortly before Ogden joked: ‘Shall I do it in the style of Harry Kane?’

Presenter Nunes then commented again and said: ‘Through the whole thing yeah, that’s what stands out about him.

One wrote: ‘ How dare they disrespect England captain and family man Harry Kane. 

‘They ought to be thoroughly ashamed of themselves how would they feel if it was one of their friends or family.’

Another added: ‘Showing themselves up as being completely disrespectful, incompetent and derogatory. The most unprofessional thing I’ve seen.’

Kane’s penalty however did cause controversy, after he was awarded the spot kick following a foul from Adam Lallana.

But many including Martin Keown believed the Spurs star should have been penalised after taking a glance at the former Liverpool man and standing there knowing ‘what he is doing’.

However, Sportsmail’s Mark Clattenburg believes Kane was clever in winning the spot kick but the correct decision was made by the referee.

Tariq Lamptey then scored the equaliser for the Seagulls before Gareth Bale scored his first goal for Spurs since his return to claim the victory for Jose Mourinho’s men.
