Harry Kane made his 125th England appearance against the Czech Republic in the Nations League, equalling Peter Shilton's 36-year-old record for most caps. The Bayern Munich striker is already England's record scorer, with 89 goals in 124 full internationals, and he opened his England account 79 seconds into his debut. Goalkeeper Peter Shilton congratulated Kane on social media, saying "You will go on and beat it in November I am sure of that," and praising Kane's dedication and goalscoring. BBC Sport notes Kane's early years at Ridgeway Rovers, where he initially trialled as a goalkeeper before becoming a prolific centre-forward, and recounts Arsenal and Watford passing on him as a youngster. Equalling Shilton's mark makes Kane a leading contender in debates about England's greatest international and positions him to surpass the caps record in upcoming fixtures.
