3 - Martin Keown, Gary Lineker, Carlton Palmer, Stuart Pearce, David Platt, Des Walker

• Of the six players who started all three games, only five of them appeared for the full 270 minutes. Lineker was substituted against Sweden.

• 15 members of England's European Championship squad appeared in this shirt.

• None of them were making their international debuts, but six players won their last cap during this tournament.

• Lineker's exit on his eightieth appearance brought a glittering international career to a sudden halt, leaving him one goal behind Sir Bobby Charlton's record total of 49 for England.

• Trevor Steven bowed out after his 36th appearance, against France, and Neil Webb made his 26th and last appearance against Sweden.

• Lineker's replacement for the last 28 minutes of England's tournament, Alan Smith, also never played for his country again.

• Keith Curle played for the first 62 minutes against Denmark, until he was substituted by Tony Daley. Daley also played against Sweden, but neither of them played again for England.

1 - David Platt

• Platt scored England's only goal of the tournament, his eleventh for his country, having netted three times in the 1990 World Cup.

3 - Gary Lineker

• Graham Taylor had appointed Lineker captain on his appointment in 1990, but their relationship ended on a sour note as his last appearance ended with the armband being tossed aside with almost half an hour remaining of the game against Sweden.

England arrived in Sweden with a nervous optimism and left after the first week, having failed to spark. The tournament will forever be associated with the controversial substitution, which brought to an end Gary Lineker's goal-laden international career.

This kit was the same design that had been worn at the 1990 World Cup, but was incorporated with a couple of historic landmarks in England's kit history. It was the first time that England had worn numbers on the front of the shirt, as well as the back, and it was also the first time that the players' names were displayed on the shirts. A few more years would pass before these innovations became permanent features.

England also displayed tournament labelling, as they had done for the last two World Cup final tournaments.
