Harry Kane has won his record-equalling 125th England cap, drawing level with goalkeeping legend Peter Shilton as the most-capped England men's player. The striker reached the milestone on Tuesday night against Czechia at Wembley, starting his fourth international game in just 13 days.
A Historic Achievement for Harry Kane
Kane, who made his England debut in March 2015, has been a cornerstone of the national team for nearly a decade. His 125th appearance ties him with Shilton, who earned his caps between 1970 and 1990. Shilton's record was long considered unbreakable, but Kane's consistency and durability have seen him match it.

Shilton's caps were reduced by a period of rotation with Ray Clemence, who won 61 caps from 1972 to 1983. In contrast, Kane has been an automatic starter for most of his international career, showcasing his importance to the team.
Kane's Goal-Scoring Prowess
Beyond appearances, Kane has also rewritten England's goal-scoring records. He has scored 89 goals for his country, including four in the current international window. This tally places him far ahead of previous record-holder Wayne Rooney, who scored 53.
Kane's ability to find the net consistently has been instrumental in England's recent successes, including reaching the Euro 2020 final and the 2018 World Cup semi-finals.
How Kane Compares to Other England Greats
While Kane now shares the men's cap record, several women have made more England appearances. Fara Williams leads the list with 172 caps, followed by Jill Scott (161) and Karen Carney (144).

| Karen Carney | 144 | 2005–2019 |
