# when Jennings won his 117th cap he surpassed Sweden's Bjorn Nordqvist's European record. At the time it was widely reported as a new world record, however, it had already been surpassed by South Korea's Cha Bum-Kun. Like Jennings, Bum-Kun brought his international career to a close at the 1986 World Cup finals in Mexico with a total of between 121 and 136 caps (depending on criteria used). Similarly, and although also widely reported, when England's Peter Shilton surpassed Jennings in 1990 he only claimed the British and European records.

We could still have been doing with him over the past few years even in his veteran years.
For instance, Jimmy vs James Quinn. Jimmy was playing on strong at 35, yet only made 46 appearances because he didn't make his debut until he was in his mid-20s. James has now surpassed 46 (47th against Finland) at 31 years-old. I guess its because I remember James braking through in the mid-90s that he still seems like a youngster, whereas, to me, Jimmy was always just there.
