HARRY KANE will retire as the greatest player in England history, according to Three Lions goalkeeper Jordan Pickford.
The England captain last night marked his 100th cap with two thunderous finishes, scoring both goals in a 2-0 win over Finland in the Nations League that gave interim head coach Lee Carsley a 100 per cent winning start.
Kane's double took his tally to 68 international goals, two closer to the 100-goal target the nation's all-time record scorer set for himself this week.
The Bayern Munich striker, 31, was presented with a commemorative gold cap before kick-off by Frank Lampard and Ashley Cole, two of the nine men to reach a century of appearances for England before him.
"It's more than likely, definitely," Pickford (below, after the final whistle last night) said, when asked whether Kane will retire as England's all-time greatest player.
