RACHEL YANKEY BEATS PETER SHILTONS 125 CAPS RECORD.

Rachel Yankey  the Arsenal midfielder. When England played against Japan in  a warm up game verses Japan. The match ended 1-1 draw.The ladies F.I.F.A European cup starts in July 2013.
Rachel Yankey  has now won 126 caps for England,  that is one more then the great English goalkeeper Peter Shilton  who held the record with 125 caps.
Yes  the match was with Japan. But you must know that Japan are the reigning F.I.F.A World cup holdersfor ladies.
People say please do not compare the two.I agree we are comparing caps here,. but we must also remember she has a lot of talent to play 126 games, and the European cup next month is ahead of her.
It is wrong  to say Who is interested in a Ladies world cup or Ladies European Cup.
 I Am as I am true lover of football in all forms.
The list of top footballers and their caps are as follows.
1)Peter Shilton  125 caps.
2) David Beckham.  115 caps.
3)Sir Bobby Moore    109.Caps.
4)Sir Bobby Charlton.  106  Caps.
5) Billy   Wright.           105  Caps.
