Description
Most Appearances	Including the lightweight versions worn in 1970 and 1974, this uniform was worn on twelve occasions, with 43 players appearing in it. Alan Ball and Bobby Moore both made ten appearances in the uniform. Four players made their international debuts in this shirt, with Bob McNab and Peter Osgood each going on to win four caps. Six players appeared for the last time in this red uniform, most notably Sir Bobby Charlton, whose then record 106th cap was against West Germany in 1970. Keith Newton (27th cap) and Brian Labone (26th) also ended their international careers after the same game, whilst for Derek Temple, the first appearance of this uniform coincided with his one and only England appearance. Having missed out on the World Cup triumph, Jimmy Greaves won his 57th and last England cap in the red shirt, the following year, alongside the man who had taken his place to such great effect, Sir Geoff Hurst. After winning the World Cup, Jack Charlton, George Cohen and Nobby Stiles never wore the red shirt again.
Top Scorers	Sir Geoff Hurst was top scorer with five goals, three of which were his historic hat-trick in the 1966 World Cup Final, his first appearance in England red, whilst his 24th and last England goal was also in the red shirt. Sir Geoff was also top scorer in the 1965 white uniform. Alan Mullery was the only player to score his first England goal in this uniform and it was also his last. It was the opener in the 1970 World Cup quarter-final. The only other players, after Mullery and Sir Geoff, to score their last international goal in this uniform, were Terry Paine (7) and Frank Worthington (2).
Captains	Bobby Moore was captain for ten of the games, including his greatest day.  Emlyn Hughes led the team out on the other two occasions, in 1974.
The classic image of plain red shirts, white shorts and red socks was launched on England's end-of-season tour in 1965 in West Germany, but is forever associated with a certain July afternoon at Wembley in 1966 when a rather more famous encounter with the Germans was etched into the nation's memory. This uniform incorporated England's first crew-neck red shirt and was worn with short sleeves on its first appearance, but it was the long-sleeved version that established itself as the second-choice uniform in the wake of the national team's finest hour. In 1970 and 1974, another short-sleeved version appeared in Aertex material to help the players cope with games played in hot climates, but the World Cup-winning long sleeves made two farewell appearances in the 1971-72 season in England's European Championship campaign, fittingly bowing out in West Germany.
