Harry Kane Overtakes Wayne Rooney, Now Chasing Peter Shilton's All-Time Record

England captain Harry Kane has officially become the most capped outfield player in the history of the national team. By stepping onto the pitch in the epic World Cup semi-final against Argentina, the striker earned his 121st cap for the Three Lions. With this remarkable achievement, Kane surpassed previous outfield record-holder Wayne Rooney, who finished his career with 120 appearances.

Among all players who have ever worn the England jersey, the 32-year-old goalscorer now has only one major target left: the absolute record held by legendary goalkeeper Peter Shilton, who boasts 125 caps. With Kane now on 121 appearances, he needs just four more matches to equal Shilton and five to overtake him, becoming the undisputed number one in his country's history.

Beyond his record number of appearances, the striker is also England's undisputed all-time leading goalscorer, with a total of 85 goals to his name. In the current World Cup, he is locked in a fierce battle for the Golden Boot, having scored 6 goals so far. Kane is in a prime position to challenge for the top spot in the tournament's scoring charts, where Kylian Mbappé (France) and Lionel Messi (Argentina) currently lead with 8 goals each.
