Football often offers the chance for those in the shadows to take centre stage and become stars with many such instances taking place this season around Europe.
Previously resigned to playing a back-up role, these individuals have become idolised and are now driving their respective club’s to new heights.

1. Harry Kane
There is nothing better than when a product of your academy comes through the ranks to become the star of the show. Kane is the main man at Spurs and one of the player’s of the season in the Premier League. Going out repeatedly on loan, the arrival of Mauricio Pochettino was a match made in heaven for Kane with the manager’s reputation of focussing on academy products.
