Harry Kane has etched his name into football history by becoming the first Englishman to score 500 professional goals in official matches, a feat achieved with a brace against Werder Bremen. The Bayern Munich striker, already the highest-scoring Englishman, surpassed Jimmy Greaves' 474 goals in December.

His 26 goals in 22 Bundesliga games this season highlight his relentless efficiency. Kane's career spans 15 years, with 280 goals for Tottenham and 126 for Bayern Munich, cementing his legacy as one of the Premier League's greatest. England's record holder, he has 78 goals for the national team, with nearly half (213) coming in the Premier League.
