Where does Kane rank among all-time England greats?

Harry Kane is now England's most-capped men's player as well as his country's record goalscorer, but harder to quantify is where these achievements place him among the Three Lions' greatest ever players.

This is a tricky debate with so many variables and a timescale as old as the game itself and, to my mind, not merely a determination of a player's individual ability but also a measure of their impact upon the nation's psyche.

Ballon d'Or winners Stanley Matthews, Kevin Keegan and Michael Owen would surely have a shout if the criteria was such, not to mention genius technicians such as Glenn Hoddle, Chris Waddle and John Barnes.

Likewise, if any England boss managed to extract the best from Paul Scholes, Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard they would be surely making a classic late dart from midfield.

But to qualify as one of the greatest England players of all time, you need the above ability combined with an impactful overall contribution - those memorable moments and an element of longevity - in a Three Lions shirt.

It might be controversial then to leave out Geoff Hurst, who produced the most recognisable performance in England history, while the man he replaced, Jimmy Greaves, would be a shoo-in were it not for injury earlier in the tournament.

It is also hard to rank the contribution of those whose best football came outside of major tournaments and before the dawn of continental competitions - see Eddie Hapgood, Tom Finney, Nat Lofthouse, Dixie Dean et al.

There are only 10 spots, after all, so here we go.

Spice Boy. Celebrity. Galactico. There is no argument David Beckham is one of the most iconic England players of all time, but he backed it up on the pitch, too.

Beckham was the face of the Three Lions for a generation, and to his credit managed to overcome the vicious fallout of his red card against Argentina in 1998.

At times he seemed to single-handedly carry England, most notably scoring a 93rd-minute free-kick against Greece to qualify for the 2002 World Cup.

Beckham's former team-mate Gary Neville called him the "most influential player out of England in transforming football".

It's true. On top of 115 caps, Beckham was part of Manchester United's 1999 Treble-winning outfit - finishing Ballon d'Or runner-up - before joining Real Madrid.

His profile was truly global with spells at LA Galaxy, AC Milan and Paris St-Germain.

There's arguably no England star fans forged an emotional attachment with more than Gazza - crying with him in 1990, rejoicing in his spectacular effort against Scotland and desperately willing him to connect during that Euro 96 semi-final defeat by Germany.

Gascoigne won 57 caps and scored 10 goals. At his peak, he was captivating - transcending football as a cultural phenomenon during the summers of '90 and '96, having joined a star-studded Serie A between those tournaments.

Creative, unpredictable, vulnerable. He was a loveable but flawed genius.

He suffered long-term injuries as England missed out on Euro 92 and the World Cup in the USA, but helped the Three Lions qualify for France 98 before being dropped from the final squad, famously wrecking boss Glenn Hoddle's office.

Goalscorers often grab the headlines but I've tried to credit players across positions and eras. From a defensive point of view Ashley Cole, arguably England's best-ever full-back, was close to making it.

But instead it's the great Billy Wright, the first men's player to surpass a century of international caps, including a remarkable 70 successive appearances over eight years.

Wright captained his country on 90 occasions, a joint-record recently broken by Kane, taking in three World Cups with impressive longevity for his era.

He was a true one-club man, winning three league titles, the FA Cup and becoming unofficial "world champions" with Wolves in 1954 - helping inspire the birth of the European Cup - while finishing Ballon d'Or runner-up to Alfredo di Stefano in 1957.

It feels a little premature to include a 23-year-old with the bulk of his England career ahead of him, but that shows the impact Jude Bellingham has already made for England and Real Madrid.

A Champions League winner, the midfielder has also appeared at four major tournaments for the Three Lions, becoming the youngest player to do so at the delayed Euro 2020, aged 17.

But his role in helping carry England to the final two years ago and a third-place finish at last summer's World Cup really make him stand out.
