#2 Harry Kane - Tottenham Hotspur

Kane's goalkeeping debut wasn't quite impressive.
Kane's goalkeeping debut wasn't quite impressive.

Probably one of the most embarrassing nights for the Spurs, as their striker captain did something nobody was expecting to do. Albeit, it was a display of leadership and responsibility, Kane's skills as a goalkeeper were completely terrible.

In his breakthrough season in 2014, Kane played in a brief Europa League campaign, but in a match against Asteras Tripolis, Loris was sent off and all their substitutes were used up. In the remaining minutes, Harry Kane took the gloves and went on to the woodwork.

Kane, who had scored a wonderful hat-trick in that particular match managed to fumble up at the post when he was seen 'juggling' with the ball instead of catching it right after a free kick was taken.

The result? The goal for the opposition. It was surely one of those moments that the Spurs fans would never forget. Loris made sure that he was never booked again!
