Notes
This apparel came in a blue shirt, white
shorts, and blue stockings, and worn only once. Where it came from, or
indeed, where it went - remain a mystery. But England wore blue in
Brazil against the mighty USA amateurs...
It appears that an F.A. XI, including
the great Sir Stanley Matthews (photo, above), also wore this uniform
in the 1950 F.A. Charity Shield at Stamford Bridge, against another F.A. XI.
Blue was then replaced by red as England's second-choice uniform.
