Harry Kane continues to pile on the goals for both club and country, breaching another significant milestone in England’s 1-0 win over Andorra.
WHAT HAPPENED?
Kane scored the only goal in England’s laborious 1-0 win over 173rd-ranked Andorra in the World Cup qualifier on Saturday.
Although the English skipper was unhappy with his teammates, he had plenty to be happy about as his goal allowed him to complete an incredible career milestone. Indeed, Kane’s goal against Andorra was his 450th professional goal.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Kane made his first-ever senior appearance on January 15, 2011, for Leyton Orient, whom he had joined on loan from Spurs. However, he made his debut with the Lilywhites on August 25, 2011, in a Europa League qualifying game against Hearts.
After a couple more loan stints away from London, Kane scored his first goal for Spurs in a League Cup tie against Hull City, an equaliser in extra time. With his boyhood club, the 31-year-old scored 280 goals in 435 games, becoming their all-time goal scorer.
He moved to Bayern Munich in 2023 and has since scored 82 goals in 91 games for the German giants. With the national team, Kane continues to extend his record as the record goal scorer.
Indeed, the No. 9 has 72 goals in 106 games for the Three Lions, 19 more than second-placed Wayne Rooney. In all, Kane’s record in professional football reads: 450 goals in 632 games.
DID YOU KNOW?
Although Kane will turn 32 in July, he still has a lot of football left in him. At 106 caps, he is already the player with the joint seventh-most appearances for England.
The record for most caps is held by legendary goalkeeper Peter Shilton, who made 125 appearances in an international career spanning 20 years (between 1970 and 1990). Kane, thus, needs just 20 caps to become the outright record holder for most caps for England.
WHAT NEXT FOR HARRY KANE?
The striker will be hoping to continue his fine form in front of goal on Tuesday, when England face Senegal in a friendly on Tuesday, June 10.
He will then travel to the United States with Bayern Munich to partake in the revamped Club World Cup, which begins on June 14.
