LONDON, Nov 11 — England captain Harry Kane is set to cap his golden year by breaking the Three Lions’ appearance record in tomorrow’s Nations League clash with Croatia.

When Kane leads England out at Wembley to earn his 126th cap, he will surpass the previous record held by former goalkeeper Peter Shilton since 1990.

It will be the latest landmark moment in a incredible 12 months for the Bayern Munich striker, who became the first English player in 25 years to win the Ballon d’Or in October.

Taking sole possession of the England cap record will serve as an exclamation point on Kane’s year to remember, underlining the 33-year-old’s remarkable durability and consistency.

He is England’s record scorer with 91 goals and also holds Tottenham’s all-time mark with 280.

Since leaving his boyhood club to join Bayern in 2023, Kane has taken his game to another level.

He has amassed 156 goals for the German club, finally winning the first silverware of his career with Bundesliga titles in 2025 and 2026.

Kane has also developed as a leader, a quality he reportedly showed by making clear his frustration at England boss Thomas Tuchel’s defensive tactics during the World Cup semi-final loss to Argentina in July.

Tuchel packed England’s defence in a bid to hold onto a 1-0 lead but Argentina took advantage to score twice in the closing stages, denying Kane his first World Cup final appearance.
