Harry Kane Equals Shilton with 125 England Caps

The milestone reinforces Kane's standing as England's leading scorer and leaves him one appearance from becoming the sole record-holder on 12 November.

Overview

  • Harry Kane made his 125th appearance for England in the Nations League match at Wembley, a figure confirmed by Opta and match selection reports.
  • If he plays against Croatia on 12 November he will overtake Peter Shilton to become England's most-capped male player outright.
  • Kane is already England's all-time top scorer with 89 goals and holds the national records for most major-tournament appearances and goals.
  • Peter Shilton posted a video message congratulating Kane and said he expected Kane to beat the record in November.
  • A 'cap' counts a player appearance for their national team, and Shilton's 125-cap mark, set between 1970 and 1990, has stood as the England male record until Kane matched it.
