HARRY KANE wore a special detail on his England kit as he made his 100th appearance for the Three Lions tonight.
The star striker has joined an illustrious list of names to have earned 100 caps for the nation.
Kane will want to remember the occasion and has been given a special shirt as a result, however fans were not able to see the subtle difference.
That’s because the special detail was on the INSIDE of his shirt.
The inside of the England captain’s shirt was printed with the words “100th Cap” to mark the special moment.
Kane was also presented with a golden cap out on the Wembley turf ahead of kick off.

While, in another touching moment, he was accompanied onto the pitch by his family.
Despite no noticeable changes to his shirt, there was one glaringly obvious change to the Bayern Munich star’s appearance for the clash against Finland.
Kane donned a special pair of golden boots that will make him stand out from the other 21 players on the pitch.
The former Spurs man had a pair of special boots made by his boot sponsor Skechers for the occasion.

Kane has been racking up the records for England since making his debut under Roy Hodgson back in 2015.
After already breaking the record as England’s all-time top scorer, he now joins the likes of Bobby Moore, Sir Bobby Charlton and Wayne Rooney on the 10-man list of players to have earned 100 caps for the Three Lions.
England players with 100 caps
Here’s a list of all the players to have earned 100 caps for England…
- Peter Shilton – 125
- Wayne Rooney – 120
- David Beckham – 115
- Steven Gerrard – 114
- Bobby Moore – 108
- Ashley Cole – 107
- Bobby Charlton – 106
- Frank Lampard – 106
- Billy Wright – 105
- Harry Kane – 100
This summer he also became the first England captain to lead the team in FOUR major international tournaments thanks to donning the armband in Euro 2020 and 2024 as well as the 2018 and 2022 World Cups.
Now he rings in a new era under the management of interim boss Lee Carsley, following the exit of Gareth Southgate in the wake of more Euros final heartbreak.
And he made his mark in the process, netting a brace as England beat Finland 2-0 and taking his tally to 68 goals in 100 Three Lions appearances.
England ratings vs Finland: Kane bags double on his big day… but he’s not the Three Lions’ star man
TRENT ALEXANDER-ARNOLD showed his brilliance as Harry Kane’s brace saw England beat Finland.
Interim boss Lee Carsley maintained his 100 per cent win record in charge of England.
SunSports Tom Barclay has given their ratings of the England players…
Jordan Pickford – 6
Had nothing to do.
Trent Alexander-Arnold – STAR MAN 9
England’s best player as he supplied some beautiful balls from deep that on another day would have led to a glut of assists.
He did get one in the end, although that was more thanks to Harry Kane’s lethal finishing.
Ezri Konsa – 6
Showed his ability on the ball with a super ball through for Bukayo Saka on the half hour.
Twisted his ankle early in the second half, surprisingly played on before being replaced on the hour.
John Stones – 6
Played at left-sided centre-back before shifting when Levi Colwill came on.
Solid though not much to deal with. Now 19 short of 100 caps.
Rico Lewis – 7
In the right place to snuff out early danger from ex-Norwich man Teemu Pukki.
Came close to a goal on his second England cap when prodding wide after the break.
Declan Rice – 5
Lost possession to give Finland their one and only big chance which Topi Kesinen should have squared to Pukki, but instead fired wildly over.
Angel Gomes – 7
Wanted the ball from the off, just like Lee Carsley thought he would. Deliciously drilled cross-field ball to Alexander-Arnold early doors showed his range.
Bukayo Saka – 7
Almost scored and almost assisted in a lively display.
Unlucky that Kane was millimetres offside after the centurion had headed home the Arsenal man’s wicked delivery.
Jack Grealish – 7
Enjoyed being in the heart of the action at No10 again, as he did on Saturday against the Republic of Ireland.
Carsley clearly likes him – it will be fascinating to see what happens when Mssrs Bellingham, Foden and Palmer all return.
Anthony Gordon – 7
Caused problems down the left with his rapid pace – how we needed some of that in the Euros.
But did not have on his shooting boots as he fluffed a decent chance early in the second half.
Harry Kane – 8
Two blistering finishes took the centurion to an astonishing 69 goals in 100 caps.
Was denied the chance of a hat-trick in front of his family when subbed off to a standing ovation for the final ten.
Kane said he fancies his chances of reaching a ton of international goals – and it does not seem fanciful.
SUBS
Levi Colwill (on for Konsa, 61) – 6
Next to no threat from Finland by the time he came on.
Eberechi Eze (on for Gordon, 66) – 6
Raced on to yet another special Trent pass but could not loop it over the keeper.
Noni Madueke (on for Saka, 66) – 7
Looked to make an impact every time he got the ball on debut. Excellent one-two with Trent saw the Chelsea man tee up Kane’s second.
Marc Guehi (on for Stones, 80) – 6
As with Colwill, little to do.
Jarrod Bowen (on for Kane, 81) – 6
Played up top after Kane went off for the final minutes, as he has done for West Ham.
