Harry Kane breaks England all-time caps record

Bayern Munich forward Harry Kane has broken the all-time England caps record, making his 126th Three Lions appearance in their UEFA Nations League meeting with Croatia.

Kane, who drew level with former goalkeeper Peter Shilton at the top of the all-time standings in England's 3-0 win over Czechia last month, was named in head coach Thomas Tuchel's starting XI at Wembley Stadium on Thursday evening.

Prior to kick-off, Kane was honoured by former English FA president, Prince William, while Shilton himself presented the striker with an award to mark the occasion. A huge tifo was also held up up by fans at Wembely Stadium. 

The Bayern superstar made his England debut against Lithuania in March 2015, scoring within minutes of coming on in a 4-0 victory. He has since featured for his country at six major international tournaments - including in two European Championship finals and two FIFA World Cup semi-finals - and become the Three Lions' all-time record scorer with 91 goals.

He has enjoyed a memorable start to the 2026/27 season, registering 10 goals and as many assists in 15 appearances for Bayern in all competitions. He also won the 2026 Ballon d'Or award, becoming the first Bundesliga player in 30 years to win the coveted trophy.

Kane will hope to feature in England's final Nations League group match against Spain on Sunday before returning to Bundesliga action against Cologne on Friday 20 November.
