Evolution of the 'most substitutions' record Two. Not until the seventeenth substitute was made, on 14 January 1970, against Netherlands at Wembley, did the first record of most substitute appearances by a single player become established. After just under twenty years of England substitutions, West Ham United's Geoff Hurst, having already been a seventieth minute substitute against Sweden on 22 May 1968, became the first player to achieve the feat twice. Alan Mullery, Tottenham Hotspur, achieved the feat in just over four months. He was one of the two substitutes used on 14 January 1970, and made his second substitute appearance on 25 April 1970, becoming the first England player to be used as a substitute against Scotland. Everton's Tommy Wright became the first England substitute in a Major Tournament Finals when he came on in England's opening World Cup Finals 1970 group match against Romania. He had already been an England substitute a year earlier against Mexico. Manchester City's Colin Bell and Chelsea's Peter Osgood had also joined the growing list of two substitute appearances by the end of the group phase. Three. When Colin Bell replaced Bobby Charlton in the seventieth minute of the quarter-final match against West Germany, 14 June 1970, he became the first player to become a substitute on three separate occasions. It was a just under two years before Martin Peters joined Bell at the top of the list, when he was substitute twice in May 1972, against West Germany, and then again, against Northern Ireland. A year later, Norman Hunter's substitution against USSR on 10 June 1973, his third, put him also, top of the list. Then ten months later,  Alan Ball was called from the bench to gain his third substitute appearance, in Sir Alf Ramsey's final match in charge of England, against Portugal, 3 April 1974. Four. Two months later, on 15 May 1974, against Northern Ireland, Leeds United's Norman Hunter became the first England player to be used as a substitute on four different occasions. It took Hunter just under 8½ years to be used four times, 3050 days. Malcolm Macdonald joined him less than a month later. Taking just over two years (739 days) from his substitution against USSR to his substitution against Yugoslavia to reach four substitute appearances. Dave Thomas, achieved the feat even quicker, taking exactly a year, between 30 October 1974 and 30 October 1975, both against Czechoslovakia.  Five. On 3 September 1975, against Switzerland, Malcolm Macdonald was again called upon from the bench, to make a record fifth substitute appearance (1194 days). In a little over two months later, against Portugal on 19 November, Dave Thomas also became England's most used substitute. His five substitution coming in 385 days. It was also Thomas' final England appearance. Then, on 13 May 1980, Trevor Brooking made his fifth substitute appearance against Argentina, 2039 days (little over 5½ years) after his first. Incidentally, Brooking's and Thomas' first substitute appearance both came in the same match. A month later, 18 June 1980 against Spain, the final group match of the 1980 European Championship Finals, Ipswich Town's Paul Mariner became the fourth player to reach five substitute appearances (1176 days). It was another year, 23 May 1981 against Scotland, before Trevor Francis joined the list (1284 days), and another fortnight when Ray Wilkins also joined the list, on 6 June against Hungary. It took Wilkins, who was still the youngest substitute to be used, 1430 days. On 27 April 1982, against Wales, Terry McDermott became the seventh player to reach the five substitutes mark (923 days). Six. Against Scotland on 29 May 1982, 32 years after the first ever substitution, Trevor Francis became the first player to make six appearances as a substitute and ten minutes later, Terry McDermott became the second player. Seven. Against Finland on 3 June 1982, Trevor Francis became the first player to make seven appearances as a substitute. On 13 October 1982, against West Germany, Tony Woodcock became the second player. Eight. The first match in 1984 saw the substitute record broken, when in the match in Paris against France on 29 February 1984, Tony Woodcock became the first player to make eight substitute appearances. Nine. The second match of the 1984 Summer Tour saw the substitute record extended. On 13 June, Tony Woodcock became the first player to make nine substitute appearances when he replaced Clive Allen in the 69th minute against Uruguay in Montevideo.  In the 8-0 demolition match of Turkey on 14 November 1984, Trevor Francis replaced Woodcock on the field and thus joined him in being used as an England substitute on nine separate occasions. Ten. In the following match, the first of 1985, against Northern Ireland on 27 February, Trevor Francis became the first player to reach double figures, ironically, he replaced Tony Woodcock, who became the first player to be replaced ten times. The first match of the new season, on 11 September 1985 against Romania, Tony Woodcock rejoined the top of the list with his tenth substitute appearance, replacing Gary Lineker in the 81st minute. Eleven. Again, in the following match, against Turkey on 16 October 1985, Tony Woodcock added to his substitution tally when he replaced Mark Hateley with six minutes remaining, to create a new record of substitute appearances. Twelve. On 26 February 1986, against Israel, Tony Woodcock was making his final England appearance. He replaced Kerry Dixon early in the second half to make a record-breaking twelfth substitute appearance. In the final match of the 1986 World Cup Finals, substitute John Barnes made an immediate impact, setting up a goal for Gary Lineker to score against Argentina, on 22 June 1986. He was also making his twelfth appearance as an England substitute. Thirteen. 29 April 1986 marked a significant date in the career of John Barnes. When he replaced Steve Hodge in the 75th minute of the European Championships qualifying match against Turkey in an effort to create an England goal, he became the first England player to make thirteen substitute appearances. It took over four years and a new manager before the list was added too. Chris Waddle, in Graham Taylor's first match as manager, became the second player to reach thirteen substitute appearances, as a 74th minute replacement for Steve Bull, against Hungary at Wembley on 12 September 1990. Fourteen. It was in the following match, against Poland on 17 October 1990 at Wembley, Chris Waddle again added to his tally when he replaced Steve Bull again, in the 57th minute.
