Harry Kane marked his 100th cap for England with two goals against Finland – and his shirt had a special detail on it.
Kane scored both goals at Wembley as England secured a 2-0 victory – their second victory by that scoreline under the interim management of Lee Carsley after victory over the Republic of Ireland on Saturday.
The result means they are second in their League B group in the Nations League, with Greece only ahead of them on goal difference.
For Kane, who is already England’s record goalscorer, goals 67 and 68 were added to his astonishing record.
It also represented something of a return to form on the international stage for the 31-year-old, who was criticised for his performances as England reached the final of Euro 2024.
The FA put on a presentation for the Bayern Munich star before the match against Finland, and he was given a special memento from England legend Frank Lampard on the Wembley turf.
Once he stepped back out onto the pitch as Three Lions captain, meanwhile, Kane’s shirt featured a unique detail that fans will not have noticed.
Inside the neck of the shirt contained the words ‘100th Cap’.
He also wore a pair of special gold Skechers to mark the occasion.
Kane signed what is reported as a ‘lifetime deal’ with the US footwear brand last year, in what was their first venture into football.
Speaking after the deal was announced last summer, Kane explained: “They [Skechers] showed us what they wanted to do and how they wanted to get into football and the football boot space.
“I was blown away by them and what they’ve got planned in the future.
“I’m really excited and already feel part of the family, and I’m looking forward to hopefully many years of success.”
England’s players have been wearing the iconic three lions badge on their shirt for more than 150 years, but do you know the reason why?
England played Scotland in the first ever international football match all the way back in 1872, with the historic game at Hamilton Crescent in Glasgow finishing goalless.
England played with the three lions on their kit that day and it has been a symbol of the national side ever since – even becoming the subject of a famous song by Baddiel and Skinner and the Lightning Seeds.
But England were simply using the same crest that had been adopted by the Football Association when it was formed in 1863.
While England supporters will be familiar with the badge, not many are likely to know the reason why there are three lions on the crest.
Meanwhile, there is another hidden detail in the badge that most are unlikely to have spotted.
According to The Sun, each of the three lions has a different meaning.
The first represents King Henry I, who ruled the country from 1100 to his death in 1135 and was widely known as the Lion of England.
Following his coronation, the King added a lion to the Royal Arms of England.
When he was married to Adeliza of Louvain in 1121, he demanded a second lion was added to the Royal Arms to honour his father-in-law, Godfrey I, Count of Louvain.
The third lion wasn’t added until 1154, when King Henry II – grandson of Henry I – married Eleanor of Aquitaine.
Henry II implemented it to honour his wife as she also had a lion on her family crest.
Eagle-eyed England supporters may have also noticed there are 10 roses included on the badge.
These Tudor roses are the traditional floral heraldic emblem of England and take their name from the House of Tudor, which united the House of Lancaster and the House of York after the War of the Roses (1455-1487).
