Evolution of the 'most
substitutions' record
Two.
Not until the seventeenth
substitute was made, on 14 January 1970, against Netherlands
at Wembley, did the first record of most substitute
appearances by a single player become established. After
just under twenty years of England substitutions, West Ham
United's Geoff
Hurst, having already been a seventieth minute substitute
against Sweden on 22 May 1968, became the first player to
achieve the feat twice. Alan Mullery, Tottenham Hotspur,
achieved the feat in just over four months. He was one of
the two substitutes used on 14 January 1970, and made his
second substitute appearance on 25 April 1970, becoming the
first England player to be used as a substitute against
Scotland.
Everton's Tommy Wright became
the first England substitute in a Major Tournament Finals
when he came on in England's opening World Cup Finals 1970
group match against Romania. He had already been an England
substitute a year earlier against Mexico. Manchester City's
Colin Bell and Chelsea's Peter Osgood had also joined the
growing list of two substitute appearances by the end of the
group phase.
Three. When Colin Bell replaced Bobby Charlton in
the seventieth minute of the quarter-final match against
West Germany, 14 June 1970, he became the first player to
become a substitute on three separate occasions. It was
a just under two years before Martin Peters joined Bell at
the top of the list, when he was substitute twice in May
1972, against West Germany, and then again, against Northern
Ireland. A year later, Norman Hunter's substitution
against USSR on 10 June 1973, his third, put him also, top
of the list. Then ten months later, Alan Ball was
called from the bench to gain his third substitute
appearance, in Sir Alf Ramsey's final match in charge of
England, against Portugal, 3 April 1974.
Four.
Two months later, on 15
May 1974, against Northern Ireland, Leeds United's Norman
Hunter became the first England player to be used as a
substitute on four different occasions. It took Hunter just
under 8½
years to be used four times, 3050 days. Malcolm Macdonald
joined him less than a month later. Taking just over two years
(739 days) from his substitution against
USSR to his substitution against Yugoslavia to reach four
substitute appearances. Dave Thomas, achieved the feat even
quicker, taking exactly a year, between 30 October 1974 and
30 October 1975, both against Czechoslovakia.
Five. On 3
September 1975, against Switzerland, Malcolm Macdonald was
again called upon from the bench, to make a record fifth
substitute appearance (1194 days). In a little over two
months later, against Portugal on 19 November,
Dave Thomas also became England's most used
substitute. His five substitution coming in 385 days. It was
also Thomas' final England appearance. Then, on 13 May 1980,
Trevor Brooking made his fifth substitute appearance against
Argentina, 2039 days (little over 5½ years)
after his first. Incidentally, Brooking's and Thomas' first
substitute appearance both came in the same match. A
month later, 18 June 1980 against Spain, the final group
match of the 1980 European Championship Finals, Ipswich
Town's Paul Mariner became the fourth player to reach five
substitute appearances (1176 days). It was another year,
23 May 1981 against Scotland, before Trevor Francis joined
the list (1284 days), and another fortnight when Ray Wilkins
also joined the list, on 6 June against Hungary. It took
Wilkins, who was still the youngest substitute to be used,
1430 days. On 27 April 1982, against Wales, Terry McDermott
became the seventh player to reach the five substitutes mark
(923 days).
Six. Against Scotland on 29
May 1982, 32 years after the first ever substitution,
Trevor Francis became the first player to make six
appearances as a substitute and ten minutes later, Terry
McDermott became the second player.
Seven. Against Finland on 3
June 1982, Trevor Francis became the first player to make
seven appearances as a substitute. On 13 October 1982,
against West Germany, Tony Woodcock became the second
player. Eight. The
first match in 1984 saw the substitute
record broken, when in the match in Paris against France on
29 February 1984, Tony Woodcock became the first player to
make eight substitute appearances.
Nine. The second match of
the 1984 Summer Tour saw the substitute
record extended. On 13 June, Tony Woodcock became the first player to
make nine substitute appearances when he replaced Clive
Allen in the 69th minute against Uruguay in Montevideo.
In the 8-0 demolition match of Turkey on 14 November 1984,
Trevor Francis replaced Woodcock on the field and thus
joined him in being used as an England substitute on nine
separate occasions. Ten.
In the following match, the first of 1985, against Northern
Ireland on 27 February, Trevor Francis became the first
player to reach double figures, ironically, he replaced Tony
Woodcock, who became the first player to be replaced ten
times. The first match of the new season, on 11 September
1985 against Romania, Tony Woodcock rejoined the top of the
list with his tenth substitute appearance, replacing Gary
Lineker in the 81st minute.
Eleven.
Again, in the following match, against Turkey on 16 October
1985, Tony Woodcock added to his substitution tally when he
replaced Mark Hateley with six minutes remaining, to create
a new record of substitute appearances. Twelve.
On 26 February 1986, against Israel, Tony Woodcock was
making his final England appearance. He replaced Kerry Dixon
early in the second half to make a record-breaking twelfth
substitute appearance. In the final match of the 1986
World Cup Finals, substitute John Barnes made an immediate
impact, setting up a goal for Gary Lineker to score against
Argentina, on 22 June 1986. He was also making his twelfth
appearance as an England substitute. Thirteen.
29 April 1986 marked a significant date in the career of
John Barnes. When he replaced Steve Hodge in the 75th minute
of the European Championships qualifying match against
Turkey in an effort to create an England goal, he became the
first England player to make thirteen substitute
appearances. It took over four years and a new manager
before the list was added too. Chris Waddle, in Graham
Taylor's first match as manager, became the second player to
reach thirteen substitute appearances, as a 74th minute
replacement for Steve Bull, against Hungary at Wembley on 12
September 1990.
Fourteen. It was in the following match, against
Poland on 17 October 1990 at Wembley, Chris Waddle again
added to his tally when he replaced Steve Bull again, in the
57th minute. To be completed as other pages
