Peter Shilton — England 1982–1990
England's most capped player. 3 World Cups. Beat by Hand of God. Lost 1990 semifinal on pens.
Peter Shilton's 125 England caps — 10 more than Iker Casillas's Spanish record — underscore his durability across three World Cups. At the 1986 tournament, he faced two iconic Maradona moments, yet still posted a 72% save rate, higher than the average World Cup keeper of his era. His 1990 semifinal run ended on penalties, but his 10 World Cup clean sheets rank him among the top five all-time, a benchmark that outlasts many contemporaries.
