Harry Kane set to break England appearance record

LONDON, NOV 11: England captain Harry Kane is set to cap his golden year by breaking the Three Lions' appearance record in Thursday's Nations League clash with Croatia.

When Kane leads England out at Wembley to earn his 126th cap, he will surpass the previous record held by former goalkeeper Peter Shilton since 1990.

It will be the latest landmark moment in a incredible 12 months for the Bayern Munich striker, who became the first English player in 25 years to win the Ballon d'Or in October.

Kane's pride at securing that prestigious award was palpable during his emotional acceptance speech at the glitzy London ceremony.

Taking sole possession of the England cap record will serve as an exclamation point on Kane's year to remember, underlining the 33-year-old's remarkable durability and consistency.

He is England's record scorer with 91 goals and also holds Tottenham's all-time mark with 280.

Since leaving his boyhood club to join Bayern in 2023, Kane has taken his game to another level.

He has amassed 156 goals for the German club, finally winning the first silverware of his career with Bundesliga titles in 2025 and 2026.�"AFP
