Original Summary

AFP via Getty Images / Harry Kane has played in all four of England's Nations League games during this international break Harry Kane has reached another significant England milestone by equalling Peter Shilton's 36-year-old record as the most-capped Three Lions player. The Bayern Munich striker made his 125th appearance for the national team against the Czech Republic in the Nations League on Tuesday. Kane is already his country's record scorer with 89 goals in 124 appearances in a full international career he started by opening his account 79 seconds into his debut. He may be 33 but remains a key player for club and country. BBC Sport has a look at the origins story of the England captain. From safe hands to hot-shot striker @harrykane / Harry Kane with older brother Charlie and, right, with David Beckham and now wife Katie Goodland When a six-year-old Harry Kane arrived for trials with Ridgeway Rovers in 1999, the youth side - who a generation earlier had produced David Beckham - thought they had found themselves a new goalkeeper. Dave Bricknell, former Ridgeway Rovers coach: "We're doing a little shooting session, and I ask for a lad who can go in goal. "This little boy puts his hand up and says: 'I'll go in goal.' We give him some gloves, and he performs heroics - makes some fantastic saves. He's tipping it round the post, tipping a couple over the bar. "I'm thinking this is great, we've got a goalkeeper. And then this woman came up to me and said he's better on the pitch. "We put him on pitch and he smacked goals in left, right and centre. So he ends up being our centre forward." Other / Kane and his Ridgeway Rovers team-mates' goalscoring exploits were recorded in a notebook Kane's prolific form for Ridgeway Rovers and his Waltham Forest district side caught the attention of professional scouts. Arsenal initially snapped up the youngster but decided not to keep him, while Watford also passed up the opportunity to sign Kane. Trevor Bailey, Kane's manager at Waltham Forest: "Harry could have done nothing all game, but if that chance came up it was in the onion bag. "He was always on the move up front. When he got a chance, guaranteed four out of five he was going to score or set someone up." Alex Welsh, former academy coach at Arsenal: "I first met Harry in the academy and he was a very competent goalkeeper, but his real desire was to score goals. "I am absolutely convinced that is the reason why he is such a clinical striker - he intuitively knows what the goalkeeper doesn't like. He shoots early when the goalkeeper's not set." Bricknell: "I believe he was second top-scorer at Arsenal behind Benik Afobe, and then for some reason they decided at 11 years of age that they didn't want him anymore." The 'model student' with a Beckham Mohican Lawerence Lustig / PE teacher Mark Leadon said Kane was a "real team player" and "wasn't one to keep the ball if a pass was on" Kane attended Larkswood Primary Academy before moving to Chingford Foundation School, where he was inevitably the star of the football team. But, as a dedicated student, Kane impressed his teachers across the board. Mark Leadon, Kane's PE teacher: "Aged 11, Harry was technically very gifted, with a great first touch, and a very clever player. He always knew where to go, right from an early stage. "He was also a very good cricketer - he opened the bowling from year seven to 10 and batted at four or five. But he loved football. He was never a prima donna, and he would always put a shift in. "What came through more than anything else was his determination to succeed. That work ethic was clear." Luke Robinson, Kane's childhood friend and team-mate: "The only thing on his mind was football. "We used to have a laugh, a couple of games of Fifa, but he was always driven. He'd always keep himself to himself. "He loved David Beckham, he came in with the Mohican, everyone was laughing but he loved it. He loved football, 24/7, he lived and breathed football." 'Gold medallist? He wasn't even on the podium' Kane's old coach: He always had 'thirst' for goalscoring It was Tottenham Hotspur who offered Kane hope after his earlier disappointments, but the future England captain was by no means the pick of the bunch for his age group. Kane's desire to learn and improve endeared him to the Tottenham academy staff and he signed scholarship terms with the club on his 16th birthday in July 2009. Alex Inglethorpe, former Tottenham youth-team coach: "When I joined Spurs as under-18 coach, Harry was 13. "I'd like to say he was the gold medallist in the group and we'd all spotted he was going to be the fantastic player, but I'd be lying. He probably wasn't even on the podium. "If there was something that endeared him to you it was that he was very, very low maintenance. It became fairly evident when Harry became a scholar he was someone who could finish. "He was wonderfully demanding to coach because he always wanted to stay out and do extra. That obsession to improve is undoubtedly his greatest strength. "It was probably around 16 he started having an impact on the youth team. We trusted him to come off the bench and have an impact - anywhere from right wing, number 10, centre-forward, sometimes in midfield." Living the loan life Getty Images / Kane (centre) scored five goals during an 18-game loan spell at Leyton Orient in 2011 Kane went to League One Leyton Orient - making his professional debut in January 2011 at Rochdale, coming on for veteran striker Scott McGleish. Kane would score five times in nine starts. McGleish: "Harry was not like other Premier League players, where you feel they're going to come in 'Billy Big Time'. He wanted the experience of learning what I call men's football. "From the word go he was ready to fight for his place. In training, he was willing to just knuckle down and work hard. "You could see in training and subsequently the matches he had ability and a desire to go further, but you're still looking like a young 17-
