International caps and goals these days are a joke.
One example, Foden came on as a sub, played about three minutes and was substituted. Gets a cap for it, what a laugh.
The only true England player with a hundred caps was dear old Billy Wright who played full meaningful games over 10 years.

Not sure on that. Only 51 of his caps were in competitive games and 31 of those were in the British Home Championships against other home nations.
Well I believe the Home Nations games were really competative and meant a great deal at the time.
A lot of 'warm up games' these days against sides who have never won anything count for nowt in my opinion.
Stricly IMO.
I’m going to sit on the fence on this issue until I know what wolfie thinks, then take the opposite viewpoint.
WO,
You little tease.

Certainly the case that there are more fixtures against the smaller nations that allow strikers to fill their boots these days and hence why most of the country's highest scorers are from the modern era apart from Greaves, which make s his total the more remarkable. Kane has won a world cup golden boot though, cant really ask much more from him than that. Pretty sure he'd improve our forward line.
