Penalties Saved

1 - Peter Shilton

  • In a record 125 appearances for England, Shilton faced 14 penalties (plus four in a shootout) and only saved one spot-kick, from Andreas Brehme, whose penalty won the World Cup for West Germany, five years later (one other kick hit the post, for the USSR in 1986).

 

This grey shirt (which sometimes appears blue-ish) with black sleeves had an identical design to that of the 1984 yellow shirt.

On its first two appearances, on the 1984 tour of South America, it was worn with a pair of silver shorts (with black seams, with two embroidered black concentric diamonds on left thigh, with 'umbro' in black lower-case lettering underneath and an embroidered emblem on the right thigh) and the outfield red socks, but a year later, when it was worn for every game of the trips to Mexico and Los Angeles, the shorts and socks matched the outfield players, apart from in the German game, when the outfield navy blue home shorts were worn, with the red socks.

Finally, against Romania, back at Wembley, a set of silver shorts and grey socks turned the jersey into a full matching uniform. This combination was only worn for that game, however, though the shorts and socks did reappear with the new grey and silver kit unveiled at the following year's World Cup.

There were two other games in 1985, in which England appeared to have made a mistake. Shilton wore this shirt in Bucharest, against Romania, possibly the third such error against their normally yellow-shirted opponents. This one had least significance, however. Romania chose to wear an all-red kit, but Shilton wore the grey change shirt, presumably because the FA had expected their opponents to wear yellow. The same situation may also have occurred for the return fixture at Wembley, when Romania again wore all red.
