It is often overlooked that DAVID BECKHAM is the 5th most decorated captain of England by armband appearances, Only just overtaken by Kane.Īnother way to look at these 20 captains is by listing them in overall caps order and then see what percentage of appearances they had while wearing the armband:Īt the time of writing there are four more centurions that join the club that was started by Billy Wright and Bobby Moore. This means 85.71% of Wright’s England appearances were as captain and this just trumps Moore’s own England captain percentage of 83.33%. Wright was a centurion with 105, Moore was also one with 108. HARRY KANE is the only other England Captain outside of Bobby Moore to take England to a major final -īrad Tutterow, CC BY 2.0, via Wikimedia CommonsĪpart from two final appearances at Wembley, England have never been in a major final on international soil and perhaps more importantly, 33% of all the tournament appearances (excluding the Nations League) have seen them bow out at the last eight.Ī who’s who of English football history and with 90 captain appearances each both Billy Wright and Bobby Moore have the distinction of wearing the armband the most and if you needed a tiebreaker, it can be found in the number of overall caps they both earned.

Again, it was on home soil but this time the Three Lions had to do with second best at the culmination of Euro 2020. The answer to that question is not very many and only Harry Kane has also led England’s national team to a major tournament final. The mitigating circumstance is there being far less opportunities to win international silverware but even then it seems an almost criminal waste of talent.īOBBY MOORE - Famously the only ever Captain to lift the World Cup for England
