Harry Kane makes a vow to Chelsea supporter who died celebrating his goal against Germany
England skipper Harry Kane has vowed to ‘give it everything’ to honour the memory of Charlie Naughton who tragically passed away earlier this week while observing the Three Lions’ historic victory over Germany at Wembley.
Gareth Southgate’s side advanced to the quarter finals of Euro 2020 following a 2-0 victory, during which Kane scored his long-awaited first goal of the competition and guaranteeing a nerve-shredding final few minutes was avoided.
While the rest of the nation was partying in the celebrations, paramedics worked for three hours to try and bring Naughton back to life but the Chelsea supporter finally passed away aged just 29.
Ahead of the match against Ukraine in Rome, Kane wrote on Twitter:
“I’m so sorry to hear about Charlie passing away – my thoughts and condolences go out to his family and friends.

Other tributes have flooded in for the ‘passionate’ football fan with Chelsea player Reece James saying:
“Rest in peace Charlie. KTBFFH [Keep the blue flag flying high] while teammate Mason Mount quoted the Tweet with a blue heart emoji and white dove.
Following Charlie’s passing, GoFundMe has also been set up to raise funds to help Charlie’s devastated family with funeral costs.
Charlie’s sister Dollie said:
“My darling brother Charlie. Words can’t explain the pain we are all in right now, you truly are one in a million. Always us four against the world.
“They really do take the best cos u sure was char. Sleep tight my angel, I’ll love you forever and I’ll see you again one day.”
