Harry Kane Nears Peter Shilton's 125-Cap England Record
· Sports · BBC Sport
England captain Harry Kane is set to equal Peter Shilton's record tally of 125 caps during the UEFA Nations League match against the Czech Republic at Wembley Stadium. Kane already holds the record as his country's highest scorer with 89 goals in 124 appearances since his debut against Lithuania in March 2015. He is also England's leading scorer in major tournaments with 21 goals across six showpieces, outperforming Gary Lineker's total of 10. With 36 more goals than second-highest scorer Wayne Rooney, Kane has established himself as a central figure in modern international football. The only major omission from his career remains an international trophy following England's 1966 World Cup victory.
Why it matters
Harry Kane's milestone highlights his sustained dominance as England's premier striker and positions him alongside historic greats like Bobby Moore and Bobby Charlton.
