England captain Harry Kane is set to achieve a remarkable milestone on Tuesday, starting his 100th game for the Three Lions. This momentous occasion will make him only the 10th player in England’s history to reach this prestigious mark.
Kane, who now plays for Bayern Munich, will be the first England player since Wayne Rooney in 2014 to reach 100 caps. At 31 years old, he remains one of the world’s most feared strikers and is on a trajectory to potentially surpass former goalkeeper Peter Shilton’s record of 125 appearances for the national team.
Kane’s 100 games for England have been filled with memorable moments, including two European Championship finals – one loss to Italy in 2021 and another to Spain this year – and a World Cup semi-final appearance in 2018. This semi-final run was the closest England has come to winning a major international tournament since their victory in the 1966 World Cup.
Kane’s journey with the England national team began in 2015 with a debut against Lithuania under manager Roy Hodgson. Since then, he has played under four different coaches, with current caretaker manager Lee Carsley being the latest.
As Kane steps onto the pitch for his 100th appearance, he will join an exclusive group of England legends and cement his place in the country’s footballing history.
