Harry Kane' has become England's joint-most capped player after making his record-equalling 125th appearance against Czechia on Tuesday.
The England captain was named in the starting XI by head coach Thomas Tuchel.
Already his nation's top goalscorer with 89, Kane further etched his name into the record books by drawing level with goalkeeper Shilton's total of appearances, which has stood for 36 years.
But which England legends has Kane already surpassed?
Billy Wright: 105
Wolverhampton Wanderers legend Billy Wright played for his country from 1946 to 1959. He still shares the record for most appearances with the captain's armband (90) with Bobby Moore.
Wright played 70 consecutive England games from 1951 to 1959 which also remains a record. He was the first player in history to amass a century of England caps.
The centre-back scored three goals in his 105 appearances.
Frank Lampard: 106
Chelsea hero Frank Lampard's international career is perhaps best known for the goal that wasn't. At the 2010 World Cup his shot against Germany hit the crossbar and bounced over the goalline but wasn't given as a goal, before England were eliminated.
In 2014, Lampard edged David Platt's record as his country's highest scoring midfielder (28 goals). He eventually scored 29 for England.
Although's Lampard's England tenure was dominated by debate over his partnership with Steven Gerrard, he ended it wearing the captain's armband and with only seven players playing more games.
Sir Bobby Charlton: 106
Manchester United legend Sir Bobby Charlton was England's top scorer, with 49 goals, for 47 years until Wayne Rooney broke the record.
But his legacy as a key part of England's only World Cup-winning team remains.
He scored three times at the World Cup on home soil which England won.
Ashley Cole: 107
Ashley Cole was England's best left-back for an entire generation, and was arguably the top player in the world in his position.
He was, however, a part of the so-called 'Golden Generation' that failed to claim a trophy despite their star-studded line-up.
Impressively, Cole never lost a competitive game for his country in England.
Bobby Moore: 108
Bobby Moore remains England's only World Cup-winning captain.
Arguably the most legendary England player of them all, the West Ham stalwart became captain in 1922 and led his side a joint-record 90 times.
Moore's tackle against Brazil's Pele at the 1970 World Cup adds to his legacy.
Steven Gerrard: 114
Liverpool icon Steven Gerrard was a crucial part of England's midfield throughout the 'Golden Generation.' His partnership with Lampard was constantly discussed but Gerrard's importance never waned.
He went unbeaten in his first 21 international appearances and played at six major tournaments. He scored 21 times, including notably in the 5-1 away win in Germany.
Gerrard was also a leader, and captained England at three tournaments.
Sir David Beckham: 115
David Beckham completed a redemption arc during his England career after being vilified for his red card against Argentina at the 1998 World Cup.
He became England captain, scoring the late free-kick against Greece which qualified England for the 2002 World Cup where he scored against Argentina.
Beckham captained England 59 times.
Wayne Rooney: 120
Wayne Rooney broke Sir Bobby Robson's record as England's top goalscorer, and his total of 53 stood surged until Kane beat it.
Rooney burst onto the scene ferociously at Euro 2004 where his injury curtailed England's hopes.
His World Cup record left something to be desired, though. Rooney scored just once in three World Cups.
Peter Shilton (and Harry Kane): 125
Shilton's standalone record of 125 England caps stood since 1990 until it was matched by Kane.
The goalkeeper represented his country for 19 years until the third-place playoff at the 1990 World Cup. He was notoriously beaten by Diego Maradona's genius, and the 'Hand of God,' in 1986.
England boss Tuchel told talkSPORT this week: "When I was a young boy, I was Peter Shilton in goal. I didn't even know exactly why I was."
