bottom of the shirt. White winged collar and cuffs, edged with a navy
blue stripe. Thick red stripe running down centre of back of collar. Red
v-neck, extending down chest to edge of emblem, left side overlapping
right, with two red plastic fasteners on right. Mesh panel down each
side of shirt covering underarm and inner sleeve, bounded by thick

above the emblem, 'OFFICIAL TEAM PRODUCT' in capitalised navy blue
lettering below the emblem, and a red Umbro diamonds logo and English

thin navy blue stripes. Navy blue number, with a white border, on back and in centre
of chest, below Umbro diamonds logo, in a different font to previous
England shirts. Surname in capitalised navy blue lettering, with a white

|
Variations |
- A long-sleeved
version of the shirt was also worn. The red stripe down the sleeves ended at
the elbow and was cut diagonally by thick reverse stitching at its end, so
that it pointed inwards. The gold star was positioned on the upper left
sleeve.
- The shirts worn by
Ashley Cole also included his first initial i.e. A. COLE.
- Apart from the game
against South Africa, the shirts won by Joe Cole also included his first
initial i.e. J. COLE.
- Apart from the first
six games in which this shirt was worn, the shirts worn by the Neville
brothers also included their first initial i.e. G. NEVILLE and P. NEVILLE.
- For the three games
played in the 2004 European Championship final tournament, England had logos
sewn-on to the upper sleeves. The 'Euro 2004' tournament logo was on the
right arm and the UEFA Fair Play logo was on the left arm.
- In the game against
Wales, England had a black-and-white FIFA WORLD CUP GERMANY 2006 logo
embroidered onto
the upper right sleeve.
- The names of
England's opponents, as they appeared in the match details, were AUSTRIA,
CROATIA, DENMARK, FRANCE, LEICHTENSTEIN*, MACEDONIA, PORTUGAL, SERBIA &
MONTENEGRO, SLOVAKIA, SOUTH AFRICA, SPAIN, SWITZERLAND, TURKEY and WALES.
England were named first in the seven home fixtures, plus the European
Championship fixture against Switzerland. They were named second in the
other ten fixtures.
*In the home game
against Liechtenstein, the opponent's name was misspelt as LEICHTENSTEIN (thanks to Simon Shakeshaft and
England Match Shirts for spotting that
one!).
- In the home
games against Slovakia, Croatia and Liechtenstein, and away to Spain, England wore all
white. An
alternative pair of white shorts was worn, with white drawstring and the
following design details:
- Navy blue hem.
Red stripe running down three-quarters of seams, thicker at waistband
and cut diagonally at its end, so that it points inwards. Thin navy blue
stripe borders red stripe on inward side and runs down to hem, curving
towards rear. Navy blue number on left thigh, with a white border, in the same font as on the
shirt. Embroidered emblem on right thigh, with 'ENGLAND' in capitalised
white lettering inside a navy blue panel above the emblem. Two
embroidered navy blue concentric diamonds on right thigh, below emblem.

Most Appearances |
15 - David Beckham, Frank
Lampard (3 sub), Michael Owen
-
34 players appeared in this
kit, in 17 games.
-
Beckham, Lampard and Owen
each only completed 10 of the 17 games. Taking into account the times
when each joined and left the action, Owen appeared for the longest time
on the pitch in this shirt, by ten minutes more than Beckham, though
this cannot be entirely accurate due to the varying amounts of added
time at the end of each half.
-
Wayne Rooney played in 14 of
the 17 games, but did not complete a full ninety minutes in any of them.
-
4 players won their first
caps in the shirt. John Terry came on as a half-time substitute. He
went on to win 78 caps, with only the one appearance as substitute.
-
7 players made their last
international appearances in the shirt. For Paul Scholes, the Euro 2004
quarter-final, against Portugal, was his 66th cap.
-
Nicky Butt won his 39th and
last cap in the shirt, whilst Darius Vassell's last touch of his 22nd
appearance was to miss the vital spot-kick that led to England's demise
in the shootout against Portugal at Euro 2004.
-
Every one of Vassell's eight
appearances in this shirt, was as a substitute. Owen Hargreaves also
made eight appearances from the bench in the shirt, but managed to start
and complete one game, against Macedonia.

|
Top Scorers |
7 - Michael Owen (1 Pen.)
5 - David Beckham (3
Pens.)
-
Owen also scored in
England's penalty shootout, against Portugal.
-
Beckham also missed three
penalties in this shirt, against Turkey, France and Portugal (in the
shootout).
-
When the 18-year-old Rooney
scored his first against Switzerland, he became the youngest ever scorer
in the history of the European Championship final tournament, though he
only held the record for four days, until Johan Vonlanthen, a Swiss
opponent, who was exactly 100 days younger than Rooney, netted against
France in their next match in the group.
-
Rooney's second against
Switzerland, hit the post and rebounded in off the Swiss 'keeper, Stiel,
so should, technically, have been an own goal.
-
Similarly, England's opener against Wales, credited to Lampard,
actually deflected in off Owen.
-
Four players, including
Lampard and Rooney, scored their first international goals in this
shirt. Lampard went on to score 28, whilst Rooney surpassed Sir
Bobby Charlton's all-time scoring record for England, with 52.
-
The only player to score his
last England goal in this shirt was Gareth Southgate, who scored his
second for his country after only 36 seconds of the game against South
Africa.

Once again, Beckham
dominated the captaincy. When he was unavailable, as in June 2003, when
he was suspended, Owen stepped in as his deputy.

Following on from the bold red stripe of the
2001 white kit,
England's next home shirt also made lavish use of red and it was worn at the
final stages of Euro 2004, a tournament that threatened to transform a young
star into an all-time great, before descending into the usual penalty shootout
heartache.
The main innovation in
this shirt, yet another designed by
Umbro, is the small gold star placed on the arm in
recognition of England's sole World Cup triumph in 1966. Somewhat less
innovative, but curious nonetheless, was that
at first glance, the
newly-introduced practice of adding the fixture and date to the chest of the
shirt, seemed to have been discarded.
However, it was merely re-positioned to a less prominent location, the base of
the front of the shirt, only visible when the shirt was not tucked into the
shorts.
One further curiosity was that the Umbro diamonds
logo was switched from the left to the right thigh of the shorts for the first
time on an England kit. This meant that it had to compete with the emblem,
rather than the number, for attention.
On the field, Eriksson's squad qualified for the
European Championship final tournament, beating off a strong challenge from a
resurgent Turkish team that had finished third at the last World Cup. A brave
backs-to-the-wall performance in Istanbul saw England secure their place in
Portugal.
The tournament began with a tough encounter with the
defending champions, France, where England almost pulled off a memorable
victory, but the fates conspired against them. Beckham missed a penalty and
Zidane was waiting to provide the sting in the tail at the end. If England were
feeling sorry for themselves, Wayne Rooney proved to be the perfect antidote and
the fearless 18-year-old exploded onto the scene with two goals against
Switzerland.
Just as we were starting to believe that we had a
team of world-beaters, the rug was pulled from under us again. Rooney broke a
bone in his foot against the hosts and England were left in an epic battle for
supremacy, penalties once again proving the insurmountable obstacle.
As usual, we licked the wounds and carried on. A
strong start to the 2006 World Cup qualifying campaign and time for a new kit... |
