The classic image of plain red shirts, white
shorts and red socks is forever associated with a certain July afternoon at
Wembley in 1966 when an epic encounter with West Germany was
etched into the nation's memory.
This kit incorporated England's
first crew-neck red shirt and established itself as
the second-choice outfit in the wake of the national team's finest hour.
In
1970 and 1974,
a 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.
The number-six shirt pictured
above was worn by the late, great Bobby Moore, sadly, not in
THAT game, but against Austria in 1967. Nevertheless, it is a
magnificent link to a unique moment in English football history and an essential
part of the National Football Shirt Collection at the
England Match Shirts website (curator Simon Shakeshaft).
