7 - Gary Lineker, Chris Waddle (1 sub), Des Walker

• The only outfield player who didn't wear the shirt during the tournament was Steve Hodge (his number 18 shirt is pictured to the right above).

• Unsurprisingly, no players made their international debut in the shirt.

• Terry Butcher won his 77th and last England cap in the semi-final, against West Germany.

4 - Gary Lineker (2 pens)

3 - David Platt

1 - Mark Wright

• Lineker's goals extended his World Cup scoring record for England to ten goals in two tournaments.

• The penalties were England's first since 1986.

• Neither Platt nor Wright had previously scored for England.

• Wright's goal, against Egypt, which put England into the last 16 of the tournament, was the only goal of his international career.

3 - Terry Butcher

2 - Bryan Robson

• For the second successive World Cup, Robson began the tournament as captain, and just as in Mexico, an injury in the second game meant an early flight home for him.

• Butcher took over the armband for the rest of the tournament, with Peter Shilton deputising for the two games that Butcher missed. Shilton, of course, being a goalkeeper, did not wear this shirt.

This shirt is instantly recognisable as the one worn with such pride by the 1990 World Cup semi-finalists, in the most successful English campaign ever on foreign soil.

It began with little sign of England making a big impression. Facing the Irish and the Dutch, both of whom had humiliated England at the 1988 European Championship in Germany, revenge was not forthcoming against either, but England managed to secure draws against both. A single goal victory against Egypt took them out of the group stage and what followed were three exhausting knockout matches in a nine-day period. Each went to extra-time, where Bobby Robson's battlers showed great courage, before their luck finally ran out against West Germany, after England's first ever penalty shootout.

The shirt was only slightly modified from the one introduced in March of the World Cup year. There were just two differences. World Cup labelling was added beneath the emblem on the left breast and a number was positioned on the right thigh, a change to the previous two tournaments, where it had been placed on the left thigh. Waiting in the wings were two change kits, but neither was called for as England wore their full home strip in all seven matches, stained with Gascoigne's tears, but heralding the dawn of a brave new era for English football.

The signed shirt at the top left of the page was worn by Bryan Robson when his tournament came to a premature end against the Netherlands. It appears by kind permission of the National Football Shirt Collection (England Match Shirts), also part of the Neville Evans Collection (curator Simon Shakeshaft).

Steve Hodge was issued with the number 18 shirt in the other shirt picture at the top of the page. He did not appear in the tournament, due to injury. This shirt is part of Richard Clarke's Morrell Collection.
