London:Harry Kane has become England's most-capped men's footballer after making his 126th appearance for the national team. This milestone was achieved as he was named in the starting lineup against Croatia in the UEFA Nations League.

According to Anadolu Agency – English, the 33-year-old striker, currently playing for Bayern Munich, surpassed the previous record held by Peter Shilton. Shilton, a former England goalkeeper, had made 125 international appearances from 1970 to 1990.

The record-breaking appearance took place at Wembley Stadium in London, where Kane also extended his record for the most appearances as England's captain, leading the team for the 99th time. This surpasses the previous captaincy record of 90 appearances, which was jointly held by Bobby Moore and Billy Wright.

Kane had matched Shilton's record on October 6, scoring twice in England's 3-0 win over Czechia. He made his international debut against Lithuania in March 2015 and is England's all-time leading goalscorer with 91 goals, having overtaken Wayne Rooney's record of 53 goals in March 2023.

Kane's recent achievements also include winning the 2026 Ballon d'Or, making him the first Englishman to win the award since Michael Owen in 2001, following a successful season with Bayern Munich. In recognition of his accomplishments, Peter Shilton was slated to lead a special pre-match presentation at Wembley Stadium to honor Kane's historic achievement.
