The England striker is a breath of fresh air in the preening world of professional footballers, where egos are only matched by the size of pay packets.
Kane is a rarity, a lifelong fan of the club he plays for who has only ever imagined playing for his beloved Spurs - no matter how hard Jose Mourinho tried to lure him to Manchester United.
The 24-year-old also loves playing for England. As a kid he used to go to Wembley to watch the Three Lions wearing St George Cross face paint.
He’s also, shock horror, a star who doesn’t like tattoos or sport a dodgy haircut.
He’s known his girlfriend Kate Goodland - the couple have a daughter called Ivy - since primary school and he’s proud to admit he likes the work of Justin Beiber and loved the musical ‘Jersey Boys’.
You don’t see the pair pictured on beaches or attending premieres, or Kane spilling out of nightclubs.
Harry Kane, he’s more like Harry Clean!
And boy are Tottenham, their chairman Daniel Levy and boss Pochettino bloody lucky he’s showing no signs of changing.
In a recent interview Kane promised not to get caught up in the adulation which comes with being such a brilliant goal-scorer.
He’s won the Golden Boot for the last two seasons and his double on Wednesday night against Dortmund took his latest tally to six goals in three games.
“Some strikers, when they’re scoring goals, can seem arrogant,” he said. “But because I just stayed who I was and didn’t turn into anything I wasn’t, I think people had to adapt to that and realise that’s who I am.
“I’m still going to score. But I’m not going to change into anybody else.”
Kane’s decency and unspoilt nature was once again there to be seen after the Dortmund game, when he politely stopped for interview after interview.
No mobile to his ear or Beats by Dre headphones on for humble Harry as he strode through.
If they want to become a real force in English and European football, Spurs desperately need Harry to stay humble.
They really have won the lottery by securing someone with such an unassuming personality.
But surely even Kane will consider looking elsewhere if Tottenham don’t win something soon.
On the night before Dortmund, Paris St-Germain were thrashing Celtic 5-0. Imagine if they had Kane up front with Neymar and Kylian Mbappe, instead of the more wasteful Edinson Cavani.
If Neymar and Mbappe are worth £197m and £178m, what value do you place on Kane’s head?
Keep on scoring and he’s going to have mind-boggling offers of way more than £120,000 a week he currently earns. Tottenham will be anxiously hoping he doesn’t start listening to them.

AN UPDATE on Juan Mata’s Common Goal - a scheme where players have been urged to donate one per cent of their wages to the charity.
It was announced 52 days ago. Yesterday Common Goal’s Andrew Erlanger revealed two female players had stepped up to join Manchester United Spanish star Mata and German Mats Hummels.
World Cup winners Alex Morgan of Lyon and Seattle Reign’s Megan Rapinoe took the grand total to four.
“Still no British players signed up unfortunately,” said Erlanger with massive understatement.

LAST week this column once again tried to bring the dark shadow of match-fixing in England to the fore.
Yesterday it was revealed a fraud squad investigation was underway into alleged match fixing at League of Ireland side Bray Wanderers following a 5-0 friendly defeat to Waterford on September 8.
Could this signal a more serious and intense probe into match-fixing in this country? Let’s hope so.
