England XI when record-breaker Harry Kane made his debut - where are they now?

Résumé détaillé

Ballon d’Or winner will set a new Three Lions caps record against Croatia at Wembley

Harry Kane is set to make even more England history tonight, with the Ballon d’Or winner just one appearance away from overtaking Peter Shilton as his country’s most-capped men’s footballer of all time.

Already the Three Lions’ record goalscorer with 91, Kane will reach 126 caps in the span of 11 years if he is selected by Thomas Tuchel to face Croatia in the Nations League at Wembley on Thursday night.

Kane was handed his senior England debut in a European Championship qualifier against Lithuania back in 2015, his maiden selection after impressing for Tottenham during the 2014/15 season.

Then aged 21, Kane had already grabbed 26 goals in 42 appearances for Spurs by March.

But that was not enough for Kane to be immediately named in the starting lineup by Roy Hodgson, instead coming on a substitute before scoring a debut goal just 79 seconds later.

Ahead of a record night at Wembley, Standard Sport looks at England’s starting lineup when Kane made his England debut.

Long-serving goalkeeper Joe Hart started against Lithuania, as to be expected during what was a period of relative stability between the sticks.

Understudies on the night included Jack Butland and Robert Green, but Hart was established as number one until 2017 - when the emergence of Jordan Pickford prevented him from earning more than 75 caps.

Retired in 2024 after a spell at Celtic and now works as a pundit on the BBC.
