Captain Harry Kane equaled Peter Shilton's record for the most appearances with the England men's national team, with 125, when he led the team against the Czech Republic in the European Nations League at Wembley Stadium on Tuesday.
This new achievement came in the stadium that witnessed the beginning of Kane's career with the England national team more than 11 years ago.
The Bayern Munich striker, and his country's all-time top scorer with 89 goals, made an immediate impact in his first appearance in 2015 when he came on as a substitute against Lithuania in the European Championship qualifiers, and scored just 79 seconds after coming on.
“I think it's always a special feeling, even just walking in now and seeing the stadium and being excited about what's to come,” Keane told ITV on Tuesday. I try never to take it as a guarantee. “It is certainly an exceptional night, but as usual, we must focus on the task at hand.”
Kane has become one of the most influential figures in the history of the England national team, as he broke Wayne Rooney's record as the top scorer, and also surpassed him as the most England player to participate in the World Cup earlier this year.
The 33-year-old striker also broke Gary Lineker's record as the top scorer for the England men's national team at the World Cup last summer, as he equaled his tally of 10 goals with a brace against Croatia, before surpassing it with a goal against Panama.
By the end of the tournament, Kane had increased his record to 14 World Cup goals.
Shelton, whose record for the number of international matches has stood since 1990, posted a congratulatory message on the “X” platform.
He said in a video clip: “You will continue your journey and break the record in November, I am sure of that, and perhaps you will continue on your way to setting a record that will never be broken, because you are still performing strongly, Harry, playing well and scoring goals, and I know the amount of dedication and hard work you put in to achieve that.”
