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.

Nathaniel Clyne was never first-choice at right-back for Hodgson, with his 14 caps coming across a two-year period.

He managed to outlast Hodgson, but only picked up one more cap under Gareth Southgate. Currently without a club after his second stint at Crystal Palace ended in the summer.

Gary Cahill was enjoying the most consistent spell of his England career in 2015, a trusted centre-back after Rio Ferdinand and John Terry had both retired.

First called up by Fabio Capello, Cahill served under five different England managers in total - his last appearance coming under Southgate at the 2018 World Cup.

Ended his career at Bournemouth and retired in 2022. Now works in the media.

Handed a debut by Hodgson’s predecessor Capello, Phil Jones’ England career was impacted by the same issues as his spell at Manchester United - injuries.

Hodgson liked to include Jones in his team when fit, but he only made 27 appearances for England in total - his last cap coming in the third-place play-off at the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

After spells coaching at United and Blackburn after retiring in 2023, he is now first-team coach at Sheffield United.

Long-serving Everton left-back Leighton Baines had to wait to inherit the same position for the national team from Ashley Cole.

However, the emergence of Luke Shaw meant that the Lithuania game was Baines’ 30th and final cap for England.

He has coached at Everton since retiring in 2020 and currently serves as an assistant to manager David Moyes.

Now a veteran of over 450 Premier League games, 11 years ago Henderson was already established in the England midfield.

A foray in Saudi Arabia briefly halted his England career, but Henderson was still involved in the squad for the 2026 World Cup, making his 90th Three Lions appearance in the group stage game against Panama.

Signed for Chelsea in the summer after leaving Brentford and has become an important member of their midfield under Xabi Alonso, aged 36.

Once a promising Leeds youngster, Fabian Delph was making the fourth of just 20 appearances for England against Lithuania.

Delph’s international career received a brief resurgence under Southgate, used as a makeshift left-back after Pep Guardiola had converted the midfielder into a defender for Manchester City.

Retired in 2022 and has done some media work since then.

11 years ago Michael Carrick was coming to the end of a storied career that included Premier League and Champions League glory at Manchester United.

Already in the post-Sir Alex Ferguson era, United have since slid much further - with Carrick now set to be sacked from his role as head coach at Old Trafford after just one win in 10 Premier League games this term.

Raheem Sterling produced the assist for Kane’s debut England goal, and despite being only 20, the winger had already earned 13 caps.

Since breaking onto the scene as a teenager at Liverpool, Sterling reached new heights at City - before a harsh decline left the 31-year-old hunting for a club after a short stint at Feyenoord in the Netherlands. He has not played for England since 2022.

Like Henderson, veteran Danny Welbeck was signed by Chelsea in the summer to add experience to a young squad at Stamford Bridge.

Unlike his club team-mate, Welbeck has not enjoyed the same longevity with England. In fact, the Lithuania game was his last competitive start for the Three Lions, only earning nine more caps to bring his total tally to 42.

Rather fittingly, Kane replaced Wayne Rooney against Lithuania in the 71st minute - the man he would one day overtake as England’s top goalscorer.

Rooney’s England career never lived up to the expectations in terms of silverware, but his 53 goals in 120 games put ‘Wazza’ into the history books as his country’s top goalscorer and most-capped outfield player - before Kane took both records.

After spells in management at Derby, D.C. United, Birmingham and Plymouth, he is now thriving as a pundit.
