Notes

The friendly away match of 15 February 1995 against the Republic of Ireland, abandoned after 27 minutes because of crowd violence with the Republic leading 1-0, did not produce an  official result.  The Football Association's official website does not mention the match in its match list. although caps were awarded to England's players.  We have chosen to record it in our matches list because caps were awarded, but since no official result was reached, we have ignored it in our team record computations.
