Harry Kane equals Peter Shilton's England cap record

sportsOct 6, 202669110

Harry Kane equalled Peter Shilton's 36-year England appearance record by making his 125th cap against the Czech Republic in the Nations League on Tuesday. The Bayern Munich striker has already become England's record scorer, registering 89 goals in 124 full internationals, and he scored within 79 seconds of his senior debut. Goalkeeper Peter Shilton congratulated Kane on social media, writing that Kane will 'go on and beat it in November' and praising his dedication and goalscoring. BBC Sport reviewed Kane's origins, noting he turned up as a six-year-old trialist for Ridgeway Rovers initially as a goalkeeper before moving to centre-forward and impressing scouts. Arsenal and Watford passed on him as a youngster, and coaches from Ridgeway Rovers and Waltham Forest recalled his early scoring instinct and technical quality. The appearance milestone cements Kane's status in England history while extending a career that began with that rapid debut goal and now matches Shilton's long-standing caps total.

In starting for England this evening Jordan Pickford now has the equal highest number of caps played whilst an Everton player. With 93 so far, he's earned as many as Tim Howard did for the USA. With 2 more England games to be played in November he will have the chance to become No. 1 on his own :)

Harry Kane about to equal Shilton's 125 cap record. He's been more than Abel for England. There ends my tribute to Jeffrey Archer and his best work.

Despite playing for a deadly rival team for years & years, I have no problem saying that Harry Kane is a class act, on & off the pitch. No problem at all.

Harry Kane should be embarrassed for taking so many free kicks when we had Son in the team

www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba... small game player who bottles every final, semi-final and occasionally quarter final that England get anywhere near. You can never be a true great with his record when it counts.

Yeah, sorry Jimmy, it's Harry Kane. So far head and shoulders above every England striker I've seen first hand it's untrue. Lineker, Shearer, Owen, Rooney, everyone - head and shoulders. #ThreeLions #EngCze

England's greatest international? Kane is now a serious contender www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba... Bellingham is in the team with him. Close run thing to between the two, as the best English footballer in the last 5. Jude will end up the all time great.. especially if he actually wins something

"Lads and lasses in the back garden want to be Harry Kane". Sorry Matterface, can you have a word with Pougatch he was saying in the last week that nobody wants to be 9 any more.
