• A long-sleeved version of the shirt was also worn, though a number of players wore a white base layer underneath, instead. There were no distinguishing features on the lower sleeves.

• The shirts worn by Ashley Cole, and Adam and Glen Johnson also included their first initial i.e. A.COLE, A.JOHNSON and G.JOHNSON. Cole continued to display his first initial, despite Carlton and Joe Cole making their last appearances in 2010. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain only included his paternal family name (CHAMBERLAIN) on his shirts.

• For the games in the European Championship final tournament, England had logos embroidered onto the upper sleeves. The UEFA EURO 2012 logo was on the right arm and the UEFA RESPECT logo was on the left arm.

• In the five World Cup qualification fixtures, England had the 2014 FIFA WORLD CUP BRAZIL QUALIFIERS logo embroidered onto the right sleeve and the MY GAME IS FAIR PLAY FIFA logo on the left sleeve.

• The names of England's opponents, as they appeared in the scrolls, were BELGIUM, BRAZIL, FRANCE, HOLLAND, ITALY, MONTENEGRO, SAN MARINO, SWEDEN and UKRAINE.

• England wore an alternative pair of red shorts against Italy in Bern, with a white drawstring, a white number on the left thigh in the same font as on the shirt, two white concentric diamonds below it and a white emblem on the right thigh.

11 - Danny Welbeck (2 sub)

10 - Steven Gerrard, James Milner (3 sub)

• Even though Welbeck appeared in more games than anyone, Gerrard started more games and was on the pitch for around half an hour longer than Welbeck.

• Eleven players made their international debut in this shirt, but four of them never played again for England, and another three made just one more appearance. Fraizer Campbell saw just fifteen minutes of action (including added time) on the shirt's debut, against Netherlands, in his only full international.

• Leon Osman won both of his caps in this shirt.

• Raheem Sterling, on the other hand, made 82 appearances.

• Another six players won their last cap in the shirt, including John Terry, making his 78th appearance.

6 - Wayne Rooney (1 pen.)

5 - Frank Lampard (2 pens.)

4 - Jermain Defoe, Danny Welbeck

• Eight players scored their first goal for England in this shirt, with Welbeck going on to score 14.

• For four of them, it was their only international goal, and for Steven Caulker, it was also his only appearance, in the 4-2 defeat to Sweden, in Stockholm.

• Defoe's goals gave him a total of 19 and he then had to wait four years for his twentieth and last international goal.

9 - Steven Gerrard

2 - Frank Lampard

1 - Scott Parker, Wayne Rooney

• Following Stuart Pearce's selection of Parker as captain for the only time, Roy Hodgson gave the armband to Gerrard and stuck to his decision, without any of the controversies that had dogged Fabio Capello over his selections.

• Gerrard was also captain on the occasion of his hundredth appearance, against Sweden, in Stockholm, coincidentally, the same opponents from when he was captain for the first time, in 2004.

• His 98th appearance, however, ended two minutes early, when he picked up a second yellow card and was sent off against Ukraine in a World Cup qualifier.

Umbro signed off, after 29 years' continuous service to the England team, with a design guaranteed to please the purists. For the first time in 903 full internationals, England took to the field without any trace of blue in the kit.

Even the crest was rendered completely in red and England, thus, entered the Football Association's 150th year with a kit that purely reflected the colours in the cross of St George. It was also a switch back to predominantly all-white, after the previous kit's blue shorts, and with the addition of a pair of red shorts (worn only in other internationals by goalkeeper, Joe Hart) against Italy, Umbro managed to introduce a colour combination that was unique in the national team's history.

With Fabio Capello resigning just three weeks before England's friendly with the Netherlands, Stuart Pearce was temporarily given charge of the team, but it was Roy Hodgson who was the surprise choice to take the job on a permanent basis, and his first task was to get them through the European Championship final tournament, where England reached the quarter-finals, with a mostly-defensive approach.

The following season, however, England rose to third in the FIFA rankings, beating both Italy and Brazil, before it was time for Umbro to hand over the responsibility of dressing the England team to their parent company, Nike.
