Harry Kane makes Ally McCoist and Stuart Pearce’s top-five England strikers with Alan Shearer, Gary Lineker in reckoning with Tottenham star closing in on Wayne Rooney record


Harry Kane is among England’s greatest ever strikers with the national captain on the verge of history.

Kane scored his first goal of the 2022 World Cup during England’s 3-0 last 16 win over Senegal, and is now just one away from Wayne Rooney’s all-time record for the country.

The Tottenham striker could well pass Rooney’s 53 this month should the Three Lions manage to outgun France in the quarter-finals, but in many people’s eyes, he’s already topped the Manchester United legend.

Kane now has seven World Cup goals on top of four at the Euros, putting him well ahead of Rooney’s seven at major tournaments and alone at the top of the list.

But as he approaches the landmark as the country’s top scorer, where does he stand among the all-time greats? Former Scotland striker Ally McCoist and England legend Stuart Pearce say he sits among the greats.

“I’ll give you my number one right now and there’s no argument about it,” former striker McCoist, who played against some of the best, began.

“It’s Geoff Hurst, an England centre forward who scores a hat-trick in a World Cup final and wins you the World Cup final has got to win it. We can move on now.

“Bobby Charlton or Alan Shearer, they’re two and three, Kane’s four and [Gary] Lineker is five? It’s a bit unfortunate on Rooney, it’s a bit harsh.

FIRST DATES  James Maddison jokes Ally McCoist would be RIGHT to let Jude Bellingham date his daughters and keep his granny away from Jack Grealish – but Bukayo Saka would be best son-in-law out of England stars England star James Maddison has responded to Ally McCoist’s hilarious claim that he would let Jude Bellingham date his daughter,s but not let Jack Grealish near his granny. Rangers legend McCoist, who has five son, told talkSPORT on Monday that if he had five daughters instead, they could all go out with Bellingham. The 19-year-old midfielder has  caught the eye  with his maturity on and off the pitch while starring for the Three Lions at the 2022 World Cup. Grealish, on the other hand, is a self-confessed cheeky chappy and  recently admitted  he has a habit of doing ‘stupid’ things. McCoist said: “I just think he’s [Bellingham] unbelievable. I’ve got five boys in the house but if I had five daughters I’d probably let him take them all out at the same ...

SUPPORT   Harry Kane gets brilliant reception from Tottenham fans at Boxing Day clash with Brentford after World Cup penalty miss Tottenham fans loudly showed their support for Harry Kane following his missed penalty for England in Qatar . The 29-year-old was thrown straight back into Antonio Conte’s starting XI for  Spurs’ Boxing Day clash away at Brentford . Kane has been subject to harsh criticism after he blazed over his spot-kick against France in the Three Lions’ World Cup quarter-final defeat. He had equalised against Les Bleus from the spot, but with his second attempt late into the match, he spurned a key chance to level the game up at 2-2. It led some fans to question why he was even on penalty duty, despite his stunning record from 12 yards out having missed three out of his 20 penalties for England prior to his France miss. But the Spurs supporters in attendance at the Gtech Community Stadium were fully behind their talismanic striker. They sang in unison, ‘Harry K...
