Most Appearances	3 - Colin Bell (1 sub) 2 - Sir Trevor Brooking, Mick Channon, Martin Dobson, Emlyn Hughes, Kevin Keegan, Alec Lindsay, Colin Todd, Dave Watson, Frank Worthington As England relinquished their title of World Champions, three players were also ending their international careers in this kit. Sir Bobby Charlton broke Billy Wright's eleven-year record with his 106th and last appearance, before being substituted by Bell, just after West Germany's first goal. No players won their first cap in the shirt.
Scorers	1 - Mick Channon, Alan Mullery, Martin Peters, Frank Worthington Mullery's goal gave England the lead against West Germany, but it was his only goal for his country. Peters' goal was England's last in a World Cup, until Bryan Robson scored in the first minute against France, twelve years later. Worthington's goal brought victory in Bulgaria, but it was his second and last for his country.
Captains	2 - Emlyn Hughes 1 - Bobby Moore Hughes was England's captain in all seven games played under Joe Mercer's caretaker-managership.
England first wore this special lightweight summer version of their red away kit in the 3-2 World Cup final tournament extra-time loss to West Germany in 1970, after their designated change kit of all blue had not provided enough contrast to Czechoslovakia's all-white kit in their previous game. It was made of the same Aertex material as their other kits worn in Mexico, though the emblem had a white background, (i.e. not the same colour as the shirt, unlike on the white and blue shirts) and the white shorts, too, were Aertex. After leaving Mexico, England reverted back to their long-sleeved white and red shirts and it wasn't until 1973 that they saw a need to revive short sleeves. A yellow change kit was introduced and quickly discarded. Then, in 1974, England re-introduced the short-sleeved red aertex shirts last seen in Mexico, before Admiral negotiated a contract to supply the FA and developed their own lightweight shirts for the warmer months. The above shirt (left) was worn by Sir Trevor Brooking against East Germany, in 1974, and it appears here by kind permission of the Neville Evans National Football Shirt Collection (curator Simon Shakeshaft). Alongside it is the number 16 shirt worn by Malcolm Macdonald on the substitutes' bench against Bulgaria and is part of Richard Clarke's 'Three Lions - England Match Worn Shirts' Facebook Collection.
