white armband, with the fixture, the name of the
stadium, and the date, all printed on it in white, with the emblem also on
it, again without the gold border, but with 'ENGLAND'-panel above it. |

Variations |
- Peter Crouch came on
as a substitute against Uruguay and scored the equaliser wearing number 21
on the front of his shirt and number 12 on the back! As Luke Young on the
bench had the number 12 shirt, Crouch's number was officially 21.
- The shirts worn by
Gary Neville also included his first initial i.e. G. NEVILLE.
- The shirts worn by
Ashley and Joe Cole against Jamaica and Sweden also included their first
initial i.e. A. COLE and J. COLE.
- Against Sweden,
England had a full-colour circular FIFA WORLD CUP GERMANY 2006 logo
embroidered onto
the upper right sleeve.
- Against Estonia,
England had the UEFA EURO 2008 logo heat-pressed onto the upper right
sleeve.
- The names of
England's opponents, as they appeared in the match details, were ESTONIA,
GREECE, JAMAICA, SWEDEN and URUGUAY. England were named first in the three
home fixtures and second in the other two fixtures.

Most Appearances |
5 -
Peter Crouch (2 sub), Steven Gerrard (1 sub), John Terry
-
Even though Terry started
all five games and Crouch started two of the games on the bench, it was
the striker who spent the longest on the pitch in this shirt. Terry was
substituted at half-time in the first game (versus Uruguay), and was
taken off in the first half, because of an injury, in the second game
(versus Jamaica). Crouch's second substitute appearance in the shirt was
in the fourth minute, against Sweden, because of Michael Owen's serious
knee injury, which meant that Crouch was four minutes short of four full
appearances in the kit.
-
Darren Bent and Aaron Lennon
were the only players to make their international debuts in this shirt;
Lennon as a 19-year-old substitute against Jamaica, who went on to make
21 appearances.
-
No players won their last
cap in this shirt.

Top Scorers |
7 - Peter Crouch
3 - Joe Cole
2 - Frank Lampard,

-
Seven goals in five games
was a phenomenal record for Crouch, who only failed to score against
Sweden.
-
Crouch's hat-trick against
Jamaica could have been clinched seven minutes earlier, had he not fired
over the bar from a penalty.
-
Crouch was also the only
player to score his first international goal in this shirt, coming on as
a substitute to draw England level against Uruguay.
-
No players scored their last
international goal in this shirt.

  After
the silver-edged red
shirts and shorts of 2004, England upgraded their next change kit to include
gold markings in terms of names, numbers and match details, though, thankfully,
the shorts were not gold.
The kit was unveiled at the Radisson
Hotel in Manchester on 27 February 2006 and was described by Umbro as follows:
'The England crest is bigger and
recalls the motif from 1966. It has a gold outline that is neatly complemented
by gold numbering and lettering on the shirts. There is also a gold holographic
star to represent the single World Cup victory. Plenty of 21st- century
technology has been used to laser-cut a St George's cross detail into the
shirt's right shoulder, and state-of-the-art body-mapping equipment has helped
to provide the perfect fit for the players. Also, Umbro have built in a raft of
new technical innovations. The fabric is
designed to channel heat away from the body, which will help keep the players
cool and dry when the pressure is on in Germany this summer. The numbers, too,
are made from a breathable mesh material.'
Kitted out with gold, our heroes
were now ready to take on the world once more, and, it has to be said, their
performances in this shirt, were pretty impressive. Unfortunately, their
victories were largely meaningless friendlies. Their only World Cup appearance
in the kit, against Sweden, began with a horrific knee injury for Michael Owen,
but was followed by a stirring first-half performance, the highlight of which
was a stunning volley from Joe Cole,
 which threatened to ignite England's
tournament. Sadly, England were guilty of sloppy defending in the second half
and the game was drawn. It was enough to win the first-round group for them, but
they failed to re-ignite the spark and another quarter-final exit on penalties
was awaiting them.
The victory against Greece showed
that there was still fire in the belly, before the shirt's last appearance in
Tallinn, where Beckham and Owen made their competitive comebacks, following a
year out of the fold. It was particularly pleasing to see Owen score again,
following his injury, with Beckham also re-establishing himself and closing in
on a century of caps. Alas, the appearances in this red and gold shirt were not
matched by those in the
white.

England were named first against Moldova and second in the other three games.

England also wore
surnames on the back of their shirts. Once again, the letter x was required
for Vicky Exley's shirt. 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 they played the United States in the
World Cup quarter-final, they wore the navy-blue shorts of the
2007 home kit, with the
red shirts and socks of the change kit.
