An amateur football club are appealing for help finding memorabilia belonging to England's - unofficial - all-time record goal scorer.

Tottenham striker Harry Kane was crowned the national team's leading scorer last month when he surpassed Wayne Rooney's tally of 53 goals.

FC Clacton, in Essex, pointed out he is still to beat the astonishing 90 goals from their ex-player Vivian Woodward.

Woodward died in 1954 and the club are searching for his caps and shirts.

"We can't find anything," said FC Clacton chairman Stephen Andrews.
