England captain Harry Kane has etched his name deeper into footballing history by earning his 126th international cap, surpassing legendary goalkeeper Peter Shilton to become the Three Lions' all-time record appearance holder.

The Bayern Munich striker was honoured on the pitch at Wembley Stadium ahead of England’s clash against Croatia. In a fitting pre-match ceremony, Kane was presented with a commemorative tribute by Shilton himself, alongside former Tottenham Hotspur teammate and Croatia captain Luka Modrić.

Alongside his unmatched longevity in an England shirt, the 33-year-old already stands comfortably as the nation’s all-time leading goalscorer with 92 international goals—well clear of second-placed Wayne Rooney on 53 and Sir Bobby Charlton in third with 49.
