Kane will want to remember the occasion and has been given a special shirt as a result, however fans won’t be able to see the subtle difference.
That’s because the special detail is on the INSIDE of his shirt.
The inside of the England captain’s shirt is 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 is one glaringly obvious change to the Bayern Munich star’s appearance for the clash against Finland.
Kane is donning a special pair of golden boots that will make him stand out from the other 21 players on the pitch.
The former Spurs man has 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.
The forward is now England’s all-time top scorer with 66 goals in his 99 appearances prior to this evening’s clash.
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.
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.
Kane will be hoping he can mark his 100th appearance with another goal as England take on Finland in the Nations League under the arch.

England Player Ratings vs Ireland
DECLAN RICE silenced his Irish critics with a dominant display in England’s Nations League opener.
Lee Carsley‘s players handed him a debut win as interim manager of the Three Lions.
Rice starred in the first half as he netted the opener and then set up England‘s second goal.
Jack Grealish doubled up for England after being set up by Rice 15 minutes later.
Anthony Gordon however faded in the match as he was not able to have as much success as Grealish.
SunSport’s Charlie Wyett has rated England’s players’ performance against Ireland…
JORDAN PICKFORD – 6
Pushed away a half decent shot from Sammie Szmodics at the start of the game but as England took control, he had a stress-free game.
After a difficult couple of weeks with Everton, he would have been grateful for this.
TRENT ALEXANDER-ARNOLD – 7
Looked more at home at right-back compared to the disastrous midfield experiment at the Euros.
Stunning pass in a move that eventually led to the first goal. He has to remain as England’s right-back.
MARC GUEHI – 7
Enjoyed a decent Euros and switched over to the right of central defence as John Stones was named on the bench.
Looks increasingly like a top-drawer defender.
HARRY MAGUIRE – 7
Was left devastated after failing to make the Euro 2024 squad but he has enjoyed a decent start with Manchester United and looked solid here.
When he is not in the team, England do miss his aerial presence. 7
LEVI COLWILL – 7
Second appearance for England and was deployed at left-back.
Unlike the Euros, England have much better balance in defence with a natural left footer in this position. 7
DECLAN RICE – 9
Enjoyed an absolute stormer in what could have been a difficult afternoon.
Booed every time he touched the ball, the former Irish international quietened the boisterous home fans with a brilliant finish although refused to celebrate.
He then set up the second for Grealish.
KOBBIE MAINOO – 7
Fits perfectly into Carsley’s style of play. Some of his passing was excellent, particularly in the final third of the pitch, and this included his part in the outstanding second goal.
BUKAYO SAKA – 7
Enjoying a terrific start to the season with Arsenal – he has been nominated as their player of the month – and played with plenty of confidence here.
Was involved in the second goal.
JACK GREALISH – 8
Left out of the Euros squad, but loved every minute of this.
A decent finish for 2-0 and unlike Rice, celebrated in front of the visiting fans by raising both arms in triumph.
ANTHONY GORDON – 6
Looked really lively early on but faded.
He should have put England ahead when clean through but was lucky that seconds later, Rice hammered his shot into the corner. 6
HARRY KANE – 6
Missed with a header and despite working hard, did not actually have that many chances despite England having so much possession.
Subs
Gibbs-White (for Grealish 77 mins) 6, Gomes (for Mainoo 77) 6, Eze (for Gordon 77 mins) 6, Bowen (for Kane 84 mins) 6, Stones (for Maguire 85) 6.
Subs not used: Henderson, Pope, Lewis, Gallagher, Livramento, Konsa, Madueke.
