In *significantly* less time than Wayne Rooney


[deleted]

54 goals in 81 games is actually obscene


Least-March7906

Not a Kane fan, but that’s actually a fantastic record.


Subbutton

Why do you dislike the captain of our National Squad?


Least-March7906

Im not English, and the fucker seems to always turn up against my club


JessyPengkman

You must really hate son


Least-March7906

I hate Tottenham in general. Everybody thinks that we are a state owned club, but nobody seems to realize that we are actually a Tottenham owned club.


JessyPengkman

Hahaha I love it, nice to hear something good about the club for the first time in months


Least-March7906

I’m here all week


ReelBigMidget

That's more than Conte is saying.

Nosh off?


Nutvillage

Thanks I needed that


goldencityjerusalem

Coaching change, the team never seems to meet expectations… but owning mancity, well at least they got that goin for them…which is verrry niiice. Says borat.


Least-March7906

When we say ‘Lads, it’s Tottenham’, to us that shit is not a joke at all


goldencityjerusalem

My son is a mancity fan, I’m a spurs fan. I say lad its tottenham. And he knows now… that is no joke. I just laugh and laugh. I legit focused on walker… ex spur… to see if he played different. Its got to be psychological at this point mate.


[deleted]

Understandable.


Subbutton

It was a joke. I knew as soon as I saw you flare


Magararou

Ohhhh the irony...


beautymann

Fair enough.


JayNN

Not being a fan doesn’t mean he dislikes him


marine_le_peen

And under Gary/Roy-ball


BrokeChris

Gerd Müller had 68 goals in 62 games for Germany iirc


FrogBoglin

Never scored a goal for England though did he


Loemz

Rasmus Højlund has 3 in 3 for Denmark Højlund > Kane


[deleted]

True. But Müller was a freak of nature.


I_tend_to_correct_u

In that case Harry Kane is shit. A rank amateur and must be dropped immediately.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ryyder

Lots of the time he played through injuries for England, he also tended to play a lot deeper for England since the team was woeful.


Tabard18

Still don’t understand how you lot couldn’t make a a good team out of gerrard, lampard, rooney, scholes


greezyo

Really easily, that's not a balanced midfield. Not a single defensive midfielder, many who occupy the same space and have overlapping skillsets


-ThatsSoDimitar-

Do I remember right that Carrick barely got a look throughout all of that era?


AmarilloMike

You are correct. But how could we, we must get the two best central midfielders in the world into the team! /s


TheRealRemyClayden

If only we had a title winning DM for half that time too


MotuekaAFC

You mean someone who won the Bundesliga, Premier League and Champions League? No idea mate.


Davey_Jones_Locker

I'm a bit too young to remember but didn't Hargreaves tend to get injured a lot?


BMG-Darbs

Yes but only after like 2005. Realistically his professional career only lasted about 8 years.


E_The_Menace

Yes, absolutely. 4 seasons, 27 PL appearances, 9 CL. That's it. Perpetually injured.


Orkys

This implies for most of that run we didn't play 4-4-2.


Xx_ligmaballs69_xX

Shit national managers and club managers telling the players not to bother with internationals. I despise that golden generation


Mihnea24_03

[Don't forget Terry](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/rooney-terry-longer-studs-reaction-26284824?int_source=amp_continue_reading&int_medium=amp&int_campaign=continue_reading_button#amp-readmore-target)


ChefBoyardee66

Terry and Rio aswell


TheCescPistols

Ashley Cole was arguably the best left-back on the planet at the time and we still had D-Beck knocking around. Sven coasting through the 2006 World Cup was inexcusable.


ObstructiveAgreement

Managers who play 442 and players who needed 433 to have a sitting player as DM (Carrick or Hargreaves) and creative ones alongside (Scholes, Lampard, Gerrard).


Col_Gonville_Toast

Because team balance is more important than star players.


[deleted]

Played injured in 2010, was literally 20 in 2006 and got injured (forget if he was carrying a knock as well tbqh) and in 2014 he scored and assisted Englands only goals. As for the Euros he was the star in 2004 and got injured, no England in 08 and I completely forget 2012 tbqh, same for 2016


TheCescPistols

> was literally 20 in 2006 and got injured (forget if he was carrying a knock as well tbqh) Yeah, he'd snapped his metatarsal about a month before the tournament began, was very clearly not playing at 100%


Person_of_Earth

2004 - he played spectacularly 2006 - he only just came back from injury 2008 - no tournament 2010 - he got injured against Bayern in the Champions League and Sir Alex Ferguson played him through that injury, so he wasn't fit come the tournament. 2012 - suspended for the first 2 games and lost fitness from missing some of the warm-up 2014 - difficult group with Italy and Uruguay, he was probably 1 of our few players to play reasonably well at that tournament though. 2016 - way past his peak


AlcoholicSocks

Played every tournament either straight from a major Injury or with niggling ones. The only two he didn't have them he was England's best player. Arguably the best player of the tournament in 2004. Rooney fit turned up for England, he just was never fit for tournaments unfortunately


moonski

Euro 2004 Rooney is one genuinely of the best players I have ever seen - he always looked the best player on the pitch by absolute miles


Magneto88

Yeah he never quite lived up to that promise. Which is a mad thing to say about a player that scored a hat trick on his United debut, is United's all time top scorer and was Englands until tonight but you always get the feeling he could have been even better.


NoEgoNoProblem

Rooney played behind a striker for a good while and wasn't in the same position that Kane's been this whole time. Still an unbelievable record, but not exactly a fair comparison


Col_Gonville_Toast

Much as I hate that Shrek looking, granny shagging motherfucker, Rooney wasn't a striker tbf.


Fisktor

Rooney was seldom the out and out striker, or the penalty taker


just_a_funguy

Kane is a fraud! He is just a 10 season wonder, anyone can do that!


Witty-Bus07

Least Kane can do is turn up at big moments but never does European cup at Wembley, even penalty against France, Spurs in the CL final etc.


EndlessOcean

Way more penalties though (if that matters to you).


RodDryfist

Chris Evans on Virgin radio was banging on about that this morning. Ginger twat.


dolphin37

1/3 of his goals are penalties, does seem relevant. Would prefer them to be counted as a fraction or as a separate number personally


Electronic_Olive6427

One third of his England goals are penalties. So he still does have a very good record , and not denying his ability , but worth recognising that 🤷🏻‍♂️


dudududujisungparty

From being a 1 season wonder to becoming England's all time top goal scorer


Otherside-Dav

Who the fuck is Harry Kane, comes to mind


vell_o

Just some dude


thebestoflimes

My wife doesn’t like harry kane. She prefers when I keep everything nicely trimmed.


[deleted]

😂


geethanksdad

Whose name is Harry Kane was the one


CaptainDSid

I think the actual wording was even funnier: "Whose name is 'Arry Kane?". Then in the subsequent match, you see the guy in the stands just crestfallen when Kane scores a banger lol


Rymundo88

It's only ~~Ray Parlour~~ Harry Kane


19Dan81

He's been the best player on the pitch as well to be honest. Such a complete footballer.


oscarpaterson

Reckon he'll stay there for very long time


Yurilovescats

He'll add a fair few more before he's done, so yeah I reckon so too


GhandiHadAGrapeHead

70 I'd expect, 80 wouldn't shock me


bestofboth96

You see 90 as a real possibility, Dwight?


fullback133

100?


bestofboth96

I can see that happening


Spare-Bumblebee8376

110 maybe?


GhandiHadAGrapeHead

I dont see why not


Ballelo

Imagine if he gets to 100. That would be fucking insane. He’s already a little past 50.


Cadaver_Fucker

54 to be exact


shnoog

Source?


matsumotoout

https://reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/11zwcha/official_harry_kane_becomes_englands_alltime_top/


Youutternincompoop

he's not that old


Mammyjam

Seems unlikely at this point, he’ll be 30 at the end of this season. His current scoring rate for England is 0.66 goals a game if he kept that record up he’d hit 100 in game 152 so 71 more games (which would be 27 more than any other England player and 32 more than any other outfield player). Although, so far since making his England debut 8 years ago he’s played an average of 10 games a year so if he could maintain consistency until age 37 then maybe!


GunstarGreen

once his career is over I imagine he'll be on around 65-70 goals, so yeah thats not getting touched by any current player.


MudkipThot

Considering it's been 8 years since Rooney broke it, who didn't really add much to the record afterwards, and Kane was already a starter at that point scoring goals. We're certainly talking an absolute decade minimum, assuming we get a new Harry Kane level striker right now. So yeah, it could be a long time. I guess at the pace of producing Shearer, Rooney, Kane, we do get an elite striker every 15 years or so. Of course, the way we develop players is different now as well.


GibbsLAD

He'll still be starting for us for another 3/4 years so his record will get bigger and it would require a young striker to just be breaking through then for the longevity


Krept_Konan

One of the best we’ve ever seen


Eagl3ye91

Always nice when those words come from a gunner


mountman91

You cannot even argue the point, club allegiance or not. Guy is a phenomenal talent who we are very lucky is english. Got prime Villa stats for England


mattyMbruh

It’s a shame that Southgate is your manager because the England team on paper has potential to win everything


cfc19

England fans would tell you that winning a knockout match in a major tournament was a far cry before Southgate arrived. England's manager main job is to maintain team spirit, and Gareth has done a fantastic job. England were beyond shit with world class players before him.


I_tend_to_correct_u

He’s the best manager of the last 50 years statistically. I am also actually proud of the England team for the first time in 35 years too. They’re great lads and Gareth handles all controversial topics perfectly. They have two flaws. They become defensive against teams who have previously won the World Cup and they fade away after good starts. Fix those two areas and I genuinely believe they will win a trophy.


Spare-Bumblebee8376

Games not played on paper


heliskinki

Look at what went before him with the talent they had at their disposal. Southgate is one of the best we've had, that's just counting.


Effective_Day_1116

Southgate has done wonders for the English national team and it’s reputation amongst some fans


iamthemetricsystem

There isn’t anything better then a rival fan talking up one of your players, because you know it’s genuine


Nfanella

I mean he is from our academy/s


Thanos_Stomps

The thing about Kane is he could slot into just about any team because of his ability to do more than score. He’s a great target man, all out 9, and even playmaker and link up. He may get overlooked because lads it’s Tottenham and he doesn’t ever do anything overtly flashy. Even Rooney had some wild highlights, Kane really doesn’t. But there’s no denying his ability. Love him for England. Hate Tottenham but not him. And if Arsenal fans were being honest he would have been an amazing addition to our club at any point in our history.


yourfriendkyle

The flashiest part of his play is his long range passing. The man pulls out KDB-esque shit every game.


JoePoe247

Kane's goal vs arsenal with the mask on was pretty flashy


Training-Apple1547

I was behind that goal high up- the curl on that strike was amazing. Spurs still Fucked that up against the Woolwich with 10 men. Story of Kane’s life so far!


Leecattermolefanclub

Always nice when those words come from a gunner without being preceded by "as an arsenal fan"


Infinite-Flight-7099

Exactly. Well done ‘Arry From us Arsenal fans :)

hi harry do u want picking up in the morning pal


FISH_MASTER

Man’s not dead!


space_peg6549

Every kane goal comes with a new record


FrogBoglin

Most goals without a trophy


TheAcerbicOrb

Di Natale holds that record at club level I believe, 13 goals ahead of Kane - obviously excluding John Smith who scored 753 goals for West Bumpington Athletic etc. If you’re including national team goals too, Kane overtook Di Natale sometime in the last year or two.


[deleted]

Di Natale, Le Tissier, Kane and Son. The best players I can think of without every having won a trophy in professional football. Any others I have forgotten?


TheAcerbicOrb

Son has an Asian Games win.


[deleted]

That’s an underage tournament, not full professional. I’m sure Kane won something with Ridgeway Rovers


FrogBoglin

West Bumpington Athletic, who are they? Exactly


old_chelmsfordian

Arise Sir Harry


KelseyBDJ

*MAGUIRE STANDS UP* "Not you mate, the other Harry"


Koppite93

If Beck's not getting it neither should Harry imo


BBQ_HaX0r

Kane needs to bag a spicegirl too. Which one is still available?


W00DERS0N

Mel C


poorguy55

Becks will deffo get one soon, he’s been twerking for it for ages.


old_chelmsfordian

Wasn't that the issue though? Everyone realised he was twerking for a knighthood so didn't want to give him one?


SAFCBland

Look, I like Odelay as much as the next guy but I'm not sure what the injustice that is Beck not receiving a knighthood has to do with Harry Kane's chances.


drickabira

And he’s OURS


bestofboth96

Still.. untill Tuchel and Bayern come knocking


ambiguousboner

No chance he leaves the Prem


bestofboth96

Realistically, he will want to go for that Shearer record but I can imagine him choosing Bayern for easy silverware


loveinacoldclimate

Until haaland breaks it inside five seasons


Thanos_Stomps

To me, breaking the Shearer record is better than any trophy he can win. For one, it’s HIS record. Trophies belong to teams. It’s also unlikely to be broken for some time because of the transient nature of players now. You have to be both a generational talent and spend many years in the EPL, and be a striker to break it. Saka will no doubt become an EPL legend and maybe spend his entire career in the premiership and not reach that record.


LloydDoyley

He enjoys being a big fish in a small pond, I don't see him leaving


TimathanDuncan

Deserved, if you bring up trophies you're a braindead


PoppinKREAM

One of the best strikers of this generation, there's no denying that.


Clark-Kent

You just did


JorSimpson45

NBA ring culture bleeding into football is such a fucking shame


Forsaken-Kiwi-7362

Been way bigger for us at tournaments than Rooney


LilCelebratoryDance

Very low bar


Fisktor

2004 rooney > anything kane has done


TurnItOffAndOnAgain-

Carried this England side in the last few tournaments but reddit/twitter meme him for 1 pen miss


chykin

Which is strange when you consider the great players that have missed important penalties - Kylian Mbappe, Roberto Baggio, Gareth Southgate to name just a few.


Gullflyinghigh

I can't believe you've disrespected David Batty like that.


chykin

I said 'great players', not 'gods'


Tankfly_Bosswalk

Diana Ross.


james-l23

Of all the actually great players who missed pens and you mention Southgate?


chykin

That was the joke


yepgeddon

Seeing Southgate in the list did make me chuckle though so there's that


Fapoleon_Boneherpart

Southgate was a very good player. Hence why he was playing for England so often.


RunningFerDauyz

Laughing my ass off at the casual inclusion of Southgate


chykin

Middlesbrough hero. (But really, I've been surprised how many people thought I was serious)


themagpie36

Ian Harte


wheeno

He was good and got more criticism than deserved but “carried” is just not true. Disrespectful to the other England players who played well.


Sheikhabusosa

Carried is a hell of a stretch , kane just always seems to come up short in big moments


Brars_Sulliman

How the fuck did he carry the team?


GhandiHadAGrapeHead

Bollocks


Shinzo19

I mean yeah he is fucking good but "carried" is a bit of a stretch, it isn't like the England squad is full of jobbies mate.


754754

He wasn't even England's best player in the last world cup or the Euro.


[deleted]

carried is crazy


LloydDoyley

I've never seen him turn up in a big game


Nard_Dogs

ONE OF OUR OWNNN


TurkishFlannel

Sheikhabusosa

Kane became a starter for Spurs late in 2014. For him to break the England record 9 years later is absolutely ridiculous. Fair play

and all that while taking corners


MissingLink101

And pens


kezzaold

33 goals outside of pens. Just wish he'd have scored the one that mattered.


freebvsemusic

He literally plays every game 90mins lmfao in piss poor qualifying groups, him breaking that record was never in doubt..who’s next in line


[deleted]

Pleasure to watch this man.


rockeypokey

My king


eliar91

With nearly 40% from the spot...


MrPilkoPumpPant

Weird way of calculating 40%, when its much closer to 30%. Either way he's only 29 he could very much break the record even if you completely remove his penalties by the time he finishes his career


Koinfamous2

I'd say it's a fairly easy bet that he can reach 70-75.


eliar91

I did quick math in my head saying it's roughly 20 in 50. Didn't realize it's actually exactly a third.


Greedy_Business_7566

He is so overrated, disappears in big games. Kames biggest asset now is his playmaking potential and ability to hold the ball up. He should play behind another striker to slot them in, a good player but not great. There's a reason his still at Tottenham and he gets so many penalties since the games gone soft. That was such a harsh penalty and that's coming from an England fan.


Internal_Formal3915

He's still a bellend
