Harry Kane, the captain of England’s national football team, has achieved a historic milestone by becoming the English player with the most competitive appearances for his country. He reached this remarkable feat during England’s Euro 2024 round of 16 clash against Slovakia at the Arena AufSchalke on Sunday. With his 79th appearance for the Three Lions, Kane surpassed the previous record held by former goalkeeper Peter Shilton.
The Bayern Munich forward, who made his England debut in 2015, has accumulated an impressive 94 appearances for England, scoring a remarkable 64 goals and providing 19 assists during his tenure. His prolific goalscoring prowess has made him England’s all-time top scorer, surpassing Wayne Rooney, who sits in second place with 11 fewer goals.
Although Kane has been a force to be reckoned with throughout the tournament, his goal contributions in Euro 2024 have been relatively modest so far. He has only scored once, netting in England’s 1-1 draw against Denmark in their second group stage match.
Despite his individual achievement, Kane will be focused on leading England to success in the tournament. The team’s journey continues with the challenge of Slovakia in the round of 16, and Kane’s experience and leadership will be crucial as England strives for victory.
