The Chelsea great was vying with World Cup-winning keeper Gordon Banks, who features high up this PA news agency list of the country's most capped stoppers.
7. Gordon Banks (4th) 73 caps
The only man on this illustrious list to have lifted a major trophy with England. The World Cup winner was one of the greatest, with his remarkable save from Pele regarded by some as the best ever. He died last year. Photo: Getty
8. David Seaman (=2nd) 75 caps
One of two on 75 caps. The Leeds United fan made his debut as a QPR player in 1988. Kept the sticks at Euro 96. The Arsenal great played his last match for his country a few months after the 2002 World Cup. Photo: Getty
9. Joe Hart (=2nd) 75 caps
Englands first choice for the previous three tournaments, he was an omission from the 2018 World Cup and has not represented his country since November 2017. Represented England while at Manchester City, Torino and West Ham Photo: Getty
10. Peter Shilton (1st) 125 caps
Nobody has represented England more than Shilton, who made his debut in 1970 and was playing for his country up until the 1990 World Cup. The well-travelled shot-stopper looks unlikely to be knocked off the top anytime soon. Photo: Getty
