  • Romania's Ioan Ganea sent Martyn the wrong way to put England out of the 2000 European Championship in the last minute of their final group match.

 

Another goalkeeper's shirt that caused confusion when trying to determine its colour. This one appears turquoise under lights, but in daylight, looks to be teal (a shade of green). Teal is a close cousin of turquoise in the colour spectrum (or so I'm told). Let's go with green.

It was only worn when England wore their red away kit, but teal was not a particularly lucky colour, with consecutive appearances seeing damaging results at the hands of Romania and Germany. It did, at least, see victory in its last match as England began to steady the ship again under Sven-Göran Eriksson.

The shirt in the photos above was worn by Nigel Martyn in the ill-fated clash with Romania in Charleroi, as England were eliminated from the European Championship, after a last-minute penalty winner. It appears here by kind permission of the National Football Shirt Collection (England Match Shirts), also part of the Neville Evans Collection (curator Simon Shakeshaft).
