This uniform was introduced for the 1986 World Cup and confirmed that grey (or silver) was now the first-choice colour for England’s goalkeepers. The shorts and socks had first appeared at the beginning of the season, against Romania at Wembley, when paired with the 1984 grey change jersey.

Because no other countries wore grey shirts, no change uniform was necessary and this kit was worn in every game up until the second game of the 1988 European Championship, when a new green jersey appeared.  The all-grey kit did make one further appearance, however, against Sweden, in October 1988.

A navy blue number one adorned the back of the jersey, with a grey border, outlined in navy, and for the World Cup, a plain navy blue number 1 was also worn on the left side of the shorts, above the Umbro logo - unlike the 1982 Finals, where the number was positioned on the right thigh.

Like the outfield 1986 World Cup shirts, Peter Shilton’s jersey initially had the words FIFA WORLD CUP MEXICO ’86 underneath the emblem and these were removed after the tournament.
