Shearer
1 - Tony
Adams, David Beckham
-

in the 1999 white kit. He retired
from international football at the end of the 2000 European Championship
finals tournament.
-
Adams captained England
against Germany in Wembley's last match. It was his 60th appearance at
the old stadium for club and country, more than any other player and it
proved to be his last game for England.
-
Beckham celebrated his first
competitive game as captain and his first home fixture with the armband,
by firing home England's winner against Finland at Anfield on the last
appearance for this shirt.

 England returned to plain red, relatively unadorned yet
extremely attractive, with this
Umbro jersey, which was even devoid of
the non-contrasting diamond patterns that had been sneaked onto the
white uniform.
With Kevin Keegan desperately trying to restore
confidence to a team that stumbled into qualification for the 2000 European
Championship final tournament, he used the nostalgia of England's only
world-beating eleven by dressing the current team in the same colours as the
heroes of 1966, at every opportunity. This, of course, was also exploited by
Umbro in their replica sales marketing.
It meant that England wore the shirt almost
exclusively in home games, apart from one celebrated tournament victory against
the Germans in Belgium, and it appeared to be a lucky kit, despite England's
first round exit with two defeats in their white shirts.
So, when it came to giving the old Wembley Stadium
its final performance, a World Cup qualifier against Germany, it was only
fitting that the teams should be wearing the same colours as in their most
memorable encounter, at least within these shores. Then, it all went sour. It
was a miserable wet day, England didn't perform, Germany stole the points and
Keegan resigned.
It couldn't get any worse and, fortunately, it
didn't. The kit was worn one last time, as England rose from the ashes and
dispatched the Finns to get their ultimately successful World Cup qualifying
campaign back on track, under their new Swedish coach.
