Harry Kane is on the verge of becoming England's most-capped male player, needing just one appearance against Croatia on Thursday to reach 126 caps. The Bayern Munich striker has delivered defining moments throughout his international career, from scoring 79 seconds into his debut against Lithuania in a Euro 2016 qualifier to winning the Golden Boot with six goals at the 2018 World Cup.
Kane's career includes both triumph and heartbreak. He secured England's first major tournament final in 55 years by converting a rebound in the Euro 2020 semi-final against Denmark, yet suffered one of his lowest points when he blazed a penalty over the crossbar in the 2022 World Cup quarter-final loss to France.
The forward bounced back to become England's all-time record goalscorer with his penalty against Italy, surpassing Wayne Rooney's 53 goals. He reached 100 caps in September 2024 by scoring both goals in a 2-0 victory against Finland, and later became England's record World Cup goalscorer with six goals at the 2026 tournament.
