season, John Terry wore a red armband, with the fixture, the name of the
stadium, and the date, all printed on it in white, with the emblem also on
it.

version of the shirt was also worn. The red shard continues beyond the left
elbow onto the lower sleeve, ending in a point, with another point jutting
outwards from the shard.

Ashley Cole also included his first initial i.e. A. COLE.

initial i.e. J. COLE, G. JOHNSON, G. NEVILLE and P. NEVILLE.
- Against the United
States, Andrew

Most Appearances |
18 - Frank Lampard
17 - Ashley Cole
16 - Joe Cole (2
sub), Steven Gerrard, Rio Ferdinand (1 sub), John Terry
-
Six players made their
international debuts in the shirt, including Peter Crouch, who went on
to make 42 appearances.
-
Theo Walcott became
England's youngest ever international when he came on as a substitute
against Hungary at 17 years and 75 days old.
-
Two of the debutants, Zat
Knight and Luke Young, went on to win all of their caps in this shirt.
Knight's international career began and ended in the United States, with
two appearances over the course of four days, whilst Young, who debuted
in the same match as Knight, made it to the end of the year (2005), with
seven caps in total.
-
Kieran Richardson was the
third player to make his debut against the United States, and scored twice. His
eighth and last cap was 18 months later on the shirt's last appearance.
-
Paul Konchesky was the only
other player to end his international career in this
shirt.
-
Two England players were
sent off whilst wearing this shirt; David Beckham in a World Cup
qualifier against Austria, and Wayne Rooney during the quarter-final
against Portugal.

Top Scorers |
7 - Michael Owen
5 - Peter Crouch
4 - Steven Gerrard
-
Owen remained top scorer,
despite sustaining a bad knee injury during the World Cup, which kept
him out of the England team for a year. It also ended his attempts to
score in his third successive World Cup finals tournament and his fifth
successive major international tournament.
-
Crouch netted eleven times
in 2006 and became the first player since George Camsell in 1929 to
reach double figures in a calendar year for England. He had begun the
year without a goal at international level and even missed a penalty
during the year.
-
Only two players scored
their first goal for England in this shirt; John Terry, in a pre-World
Cup friendly, against Hungary, and Kieran Richardson, who netted a brace
on his debut against the United States, but never scored again for his
country.
-
David Beckham was the only
other player to score his last England goal in this shirt. His 17th was
a free-kick against Ecuador that took England into the World Cup
quarter-finals and enabled him to become the first man to score in three
successive World Cup finals tournaments for England, the achievement so
cruelly denied to Owen.

year.
-
Terry was given the
captaincy for the last five games in which the shirt was worn.

 This smartly-designed outfit was worn by some of
England's finest. Sadly, the performances didn't quite live up to the hype and
the side failed to make its mark on the world in the summer of 2006.
At least England looked the part. Much akin to the
red away shirt, the
gold star, now above the three-lions emblem, still reminded us of England's
solitary World Cup triumph and the match fixture and date returned to their more-prominent position as on
the 2001 white shirt, the middle of the chest,
after being hidden away at the base, for the
2003
home white shirt.
One curious thing, however, was that the 'v'
in the match details appeared to be on a separate white patch, beginning
with the game against Wales, probably indicating a propensity for not
sticking to the shirt easily without it, on account of it being so tiny.
Of course, on a white shirt, it was not obviously noticeable, but on the
goalkeepers' coloured tops, it was.
This shirt was also notable for the fact that small
white emblems, complete with the team name, ENGLAND, were introduced to the base of
the numbers on the back of the shirt, the first time that the Three Lions had
found their way onto the reverse, though shadow emblems were
used on the numbers on the
2004 red shirt. The only
regular previous attempt to include
symbols within the numbers had been with
Admiral
logos, also at the base, from 1982-83 (though
Umbro logos were used on
one celebrated occasion in 1987).
If anything, the World Cup came a year too late for
England, for in the spring of 2005, a confident side was sweeping all before
them and threatened to qualify for the tournament with games to spare.
The doubts set in at the start of the 2005-06 season
when Denmark ripped their defence apart. Qualification was achieved, but not
before a first defeat in Belfast, since 1927. A thrilling victory against
Argentina restored faith, however, that England could still perform on the big
stage and they went to Germany on the back of six successive victories.
Expectation, as usual, was unrealistically high.
Eriksson had only named three central strikers in the squad, one of whom was
Wayne Rooney, recovering from a broken foot. He lost Michael Owen to a serious
knee injury against Sweden, leaving Peter Crouch as the only fully-fit striker.
The inclusion of untried 17-year-old winger, Theo Walcott in the squad,
mystified the public and proved to be a pointless exercise as Eriksson chose not
to use the youngster. England lacked firepower when they needed it the most and
Portugal, just as in Euro 2004, exploited England's penalty shootout frailties
and left Eriksson offering profuse apologies as he disappeared off into the sunset.
Steve McClaren took on the mantle as England began
the following season scoring goals for fun, until a goalless draw with Macedonia
was followed by an error-strewn defeat to Croatia. Qualification for the next
European Championship was not going to be as straightforward as had been
predicted. |

Players wearing both sleeve lengths in
the same match are counted once in each column. Playing substitutes and
those substituted each count as one. Players wearing different shirts
with the same sleeve length in the same match only count as one.
It was also worn on
the bench, by unused substitutes, Emile Heskey (in the
first two matches), Darren Bent (in the first five matches of the
2005-06 season, plus against Andorra and Croatia, and both games
against Macedonia), Matthew Upson (in Denmark, Wales and Northern
Ireland) and Michael Dawson (against Hungary, Andorra and the
Netherlands).
- Having worn short sleeves
throughout Euro 2004, and in no other international matches, David Beckham
switched to the shorter length against Ecuador in the fourth match
of the 2006 World Cup finals, but this time changed for the second
half into his usual long sleeves. This more-familiar attire
obviously did the trick, as he scored the only goal of the game!

The Under-21s' shirt had the
same match details format on the chest, with the team names appearing as AUSTRIA
U21, AZERBAIJAN U21, DENMARK U21, ENGLAND U21, FRANCE U21, GERMANY U21, HOLLAND
U21, NORWAY U21, POLAND U21, SWITZERLAND U21 and WALES U21. England were named
first in the seven home fixtures and second in the six away games. Surnames were
also worn on the back of the shirts.
For the UEFA Women's Championship finals in 2005 in
England, the women's team wore match details for the first time, in the same
format on the chest as the men's full internationals and under-21 teams,
with the team names appearing as DENMARK, ENGLAND, FINLAND and SWEDEN.
England were named second against Denmark, and first versus the other two
teams. They also wore their surnames on the back of the shirts in the same
font as for the men's teams. As in 2001, the letter x was required for Vicky
Exley. England wore the tournament logo on the right sleeve, and the UEFA
Fair Play logo on the left sleeve:
 
Almost a year later, they again wore match details on
the chest and surnames on the back, in World Cup qualifiers, with the team
names appearing as ENGLAND, FRANCE, HOLLAND and HUNGARY. It is assumed that
the shirts worn by Alex Scott, Jill Scott, Kelly Smith and Sue Smith also
included their first initial i.e. A. SCOTT, J. SCOTT, K. SMITH and S. SMITH.
When the under-20s played in the Toulon tournament of
2005, they wore the following detail on the chest (not actual font):
TOULON TOURNAMENT
2005
In 2005, in both the UEFA Under-19 Championship finals
in Northern Ireland, and the UEFA Under-17 Championship finals in Italy,
England wore the tournament logo on the right sleeve.
All of England's other teams also wore the same
design, but did not have their names on the back or display match details.
