Just a couple of years ago they were competing in a private Premier League competition but even then they clearly had a high regard for each other .
Our picture show a very young Declan Rice posing after the competition with his pal Harry Kane at a time when the Hammers youngster was being tipped to make it into the big time.
The 18 year old now stands on the brink of regular first team football at the Hammers and showed his excellence in helping to keep one of the world’s top strikers quiet during the excellent 1-1 draw at Wembley in midweek.
What a difference a couple of years makes!
two high quality players
