Key Takeaways
AIHarry Kane has equaled the record for most appearances with the England men's national team, matching Peter Shilton's 125 caps as he led the side against the Czech Republic in the UEFA Nations League at Wembley Stadium on Tuesday.
The milestone was achieved at the same stadium where Kane began his England career more than 11 years ago.
The Bayern Munich striker, who is also England’s all-time top scorer with 89 goals, made an immediate impact on his debut in 2015, coming off the bench against Lithuania in a European Championship qualifier and scoring just 79 seconds after entering the pitch.
The 33-year-old forward also broke Gary Lineker’s record for most goals by an England men's player at the World Cup last summer, matching Lineker’s tally of 10 goals with a brace against Croatia before surpassing it with a goal against Panama. By the end of the tournament, Kane had extended the record to 14 World Cup goals.
