When England travelled to Romania for a World Cup qualifying match in October
1980, Ray Clemence would probably have expected to wear a blue jersey, as
Romania wore yellow shirts. However, he took to the field in a green adidas
jersey.
It was identical to the one worn by the Romanian 'keeper, apart
from the fact that it
had no emblem. As Clemence wore the black shorts and socks that were normally
worn with the yellow jersey, we can only assume that England accidentally
packed the yellow and were left with no option but to borrow an
alternative from their hosts. Whatever the reason, it also
affected the Under-21 team, because John Lukic wore a plain blue jersey in the
previous day's Under-21 international.
Coincidentally, when England opened
their defence of the World Cup against Romania, in their previous
meeting, back in 1970, Gordon Banks took to the field in a yellow
shirt, thus clashing with the Romanian shirts and he had to change
into a red shirt at half-time.
