Harry Kane has equalled Peter Shilton’s record as England’s most-capped player, reaching a landmark that Shilton held for 36 years.

The achievement represents another significant moment in Kane’s international career. Although now recognised as one of England’s leading strikers, Kane began playing as a goalkeeper during childhood before progressing into an attacking role.

By drawing level with Shilton, Kane has joined the former goalkeeper at the top of England’s appearance list. The milestone highlights the longevity of his involvement with the Three Lions and places him alongside a player whose record had stood for more than three decades.
