England's Best Ever Player
2,311Harry Kane recently stole headlines for passing Wayne Rooney as England’s top ever goal scorer, the problem is that historically speaking, it’s not true. While Harry Kane is obviously a fantastic player, there is another player from over 100 years ago that scored far more goals in an England jersey that are recognized by FIFA as official goals, the English FA just doesn’t feel the same.
Obviously, when matches happened so long ago it’s hard to know whether it should count or not, but there were a lot of players playing for a lot of countries back then and there was only one Englishman that was scoring enough goals to be well ahead of Harry Kane. You get to decide whether he is ACTUALLY the top scorer in England’s history, or not.
Much Love,
The Zealand
