*Some sources state that only 20 of the 22 squad members travelled to the 1962 tournament in Chile, that Gordon Banks and Derek Kevan were stay-at-home reserves who were never called and that Jimmy Adamson made the trip only as a coach.  Other sources, including FIFA's official World Cup records, include Kevan and Adamson on the squad, but not Banks.  Since official squad lists had to be submitted to FIFA, our squad list defers to the official FIFA records, omitting Banks and including Adamson.  We do not doubt that Kevan remained on reserve at home.

No substitutions were permitted for any reason during the tournament.  No squad members had birthdays during England's participation in the tournament.
