The highest scoring English players of all time

5. Alan Shearer - 409 goals

Some might forget it, but football actually started before thePremier League.

Alan Shearer's all-time record in the Premier League is the stuff of legend, but he only makes it in at number five here.

Shearer scored 409 goals for club and country during his career, 283 of which came in England's top flight. During that period, he won three Premier League Golden Boots and becameNewcastle United's all-time record scorer.

4. Steve Bloomer – 420 goals

Derby County's record scorer, Steve Bloomer scored 332 goals for The Rams over two spells with the club. Bloomer also represented Middlesbrough during a prolific career and scored 28 goals in just 23 caps for England.

Only Jimmy Greaves has scored more goals in England's top flight than Bloomer.

3. Jimmy Greaves – 466 goals

Speaking of which...

Jimmy Greaves scored a record-breaking 357 top-flight goals in England during a career in which the forward representedChelsea, Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham, alongside a short-lived spell in Italy at AC Milan.

Only Harry Kane has scored more goals for Spurs than Greaves, while he also notched up 44 goals in an England shirt. He was part of the squad that won the 1966 World Cup, but lost his place in the team to Geoff Hurst due to injury.

2. Dixie Dean – 473 goals

Dixie Dean's goalscoring feats are still spoken about almost 90 years since he last kicked a ball in England's top flight.

Dean scored a record-breaking 383 goals in 433 games forEverton, including a fabled 1927-28 season that is cemented in history.

That campaign, Dean scored a record 60 league goals in 39 games, an achievement unlikely to be eclipsed. The Birkenhead-born goal-getter also netted 18 times in just 16 appearances for England

1. Harry Kane - 500 goals

Harry Kane is the first-ever Englishman to reach 500 career goals.

England's all-time record scorer has 78 goals in 112 caps for the Three Lions, having eclipsed Wayne Rooney's record in 2023.

Other notable achievements for Kane include being Tottenham Hotspur's leading goalscorer and the highest-scoring Englishman in Champions League history (45).

Now with Bayern Munich, he's bettered a goal-per-game in the Bundesliga, with 88 goals in 85 league appearances.
