Harry Kane and our England goalscorers

Harry Kane became only the second player to score 50 goals for England with his late equaliser against Germany in the UEFA Nations League on Tuesday evening.

In doing so, he moved above World Cup winner Sir Bobby Charlton (49 goals) and within three of all-time top goalscorer Wayne Rooney, who bagged 53 goals in 120 caps between 2003-2018.

Now captain, Harry has raced 22 goals clear of Jimmy Greaves in terms of goals for the Three Lions as a Spurs player and a glance at England's all-time goalscoring list will reveal that seven of the 23 players to score 20-plus - including four in the all-time top 10 - have Spurs links.

Here they are...

50 - Harry Kane

50 goals in 71 caps at Spurs

Harry made the dream debut when he scored 79 seconds after coming off the bench against Lithuania in March, 2015. Named captain in 2017, he led the Three Lions to semi-finals of the 2018 World Cup, where he claimed the tournament's Golden Boot. He then hit four goals in three games to fire the country to the final of Euro 2020 last year. Now he has two all-time goalscoring records in his sights - Jimmy Greaves' 266 at Spurs, Wayne Rooney's 53 for England.

48 goals - Gary Lineker

48 goals in 80 caps/19 goals in 38 caps at Spurs

Gary fell one goal short of Bobby Charlton’s record when he finished his England career in 1992 with 48 in 80 appearances. He made his international debut as a Leicester City player in 1984 but it was in the following three years that he really hit the heights, scoring 23 goals in 26 matches. He joined us from Barcelona in July 1989 and finished his first campaign as the top scorer in the old First Division. His relationship on the pitch with Paul Gascoigne was pivotal to his goalscoring feats and the pair were also prominent as England reached the semi-finals of the 1990 World Cup. An FA Cup winner in 1991 with Spurs, Gary was the only England player in history to win the World Cup Golden Boot - he scored six times at the 1986 finals - until Harry scooped the prize this summer.

44 - Jimmy Greaves

44 goals in 57 caps/28 goals in 42 caps at Spurs

Our all-time leading goalscorer was equally prolific for the national team, scoring his 44 goals in only 57 matches. Jimmy made his England debut in 1959 and had already struck 16 times in 15 games before he joined us in December, 1961, for £99,999. He scored four times in a game twice for England, the second time coming just a couple of weeks before the start of the 1966 World Cup. Though he started the tournament up front for Sir Alf Ramsey’s side, an injury in the final group game gave Geoff Hurst the chance to stake his claim and create his own piece of history. Jimmy’s honours at White Hart Lane included the 1963 European Cup Winners’ Cup and the FA Cup in both 1962 and 1967, the latter coming in the same year he made his final international appearance.

29 - Vivian Woodward

29 goals in 23 caps/27 goals in 21 caps at Spurs

One of the game's earliest stars, Great Britain’s victorious captain at both the 1908 and 1912 Olympic Games, Vivian Woodward's record of 29 goals in 23 internationals between 1903-11 gives him the highest goals-to-game ratio of any of the strikers in England’s top 10, and all bar three of his efforts came during his time with us. His tally was England’s record for 47 years until Tom Finney surpassed him in 1958. Vivian played for eight seasons in the Southern League for us before scoring 18 goals in 27 games as we won the old Second Division in our first season after being elected into the Football League.

22 - Peter Crouch

22 goals in 42 caps/6 goals in 8 caps at Spurs

Having come through the ranks at White Hart Lane but never made a first-team appearance, Peter was prolific for QPR, Portsmouth and Southampton before getting the call from England in 2005. He was in scintillating form in 2006, scoring 11 goals in 12 internationals and famously celebrating with his robotic dancing. He returned to us in 2009 after stints at Liverpool and Portsmouth and played in his second World Cup the following year. He entered Spurs folklore by scoring the goal that secured Champions League football for us in 2009/10 and was instrumental in us reaching the last eight in that competition the following season, scoring a hat-trick in the play-off, second leg against Young Boys and then the winner against AC Milan in the last 16.

20 - Martin Peters

20 goals in 67 caps/9 goals in 34 caps at Spurs

Always revered as a member of England’s 1966 World Cup-winning team, Martin did not arrive at White Hart Lane until March, 1970, but won over half of his caps during his time with us. He went to the 1970 World Cup shortly after and scored in the quarter-final against West Germany, only for the reigning champions to go out having led 2-0 - team-mate Alan Mullery also on target that day. Martin scored his final international goal when England beat Scotland 1-0 at Wembley Stadium in May, 1973. He won the UEFA Cup with us in 1972, in between his two League Cup successes, and went on to play 260 games for the club in total.

20 - Jermain Defoe

20 goals in 57 caps/16 goals in 49 caps at Spurs

Jermain signed for us in February, 2004, and made his England debut the following month, though he was strangely overlooked for both Euro 2004 and the 2006 World Cup. He did go to the 2010 World Cup, at which point he was in the middle of his second spell at White Hart Lane, and scored the only goal in England’s final group game against Slovenia to ensure progress to the last 16. Only recently retired at the age of 39, Jermain struck 143 times in total during his two stints at Spurs and was awarded an OBE in the 2018 Queen's Birthday Honours. An interesting note - Jermain's final England cap was Harry Kane's first as skipper, a 2-2 draw against Scotland on 10 June, 2017.
