Peter Shilton

The previous most-capped England international was former goalkeeper Peter Shilton. The former Nottingham Forest keeper made one-hundred and twenty-five appearances for his country from 1970-1990, most famously being in the net for the Diego Maradona incident that still haunts England fans to this day.

This incident is more commonly known as the 'hand of god' goal, where the Argentinian attacking midfielder punched the ball into the net to send Argentina through to the 1986 World Cup semi-finals.

Kane's England History

Kane has certainly had a very mixed career, but regarding England, he is commonly referred to as one of the greatest England players of all time. The striker is currently his country's all-time top goalscorer too, with ninety-one goals compared to his one-hundred and twenty-five caps prior to tonight's fixture.

Kane's first England game was against Lithuania in March 2015, coming on as a substitute for former Everton and Manchester United forward Wayne Rooney. The substitute played well for England as he went on to score his first senior international goal on his debut.
