 The photograph above
(right) is of the actual No. 12 shirt issued to right fullback Viv Anderson for the World Cup 1986 final tournament in Mexico. This pale blue jersey, accompanied by shorts and socks
of the same colour, was, like the red shirt that
was also issued, never worn in match play at the tournament. England wore their
white shirt in all five of their matches at World Cup 1986. However,
they did wear the pale blue shorts and socks with the white shirt in the
quarter-final loss to Argentina that put them out of the competition.
