Notes

All of Steven Gerrard's appearances were made while playing for Liverpool and he holds the record for most appearances with one club.
Billy Wright's consecutive appearances were the last 70 of his international career. He had a further streak of 33 consecutive appearances at the start of his career, a total only exceeded by Ron Flowers (40) and Kenny Sansom (37), and equalled by Roger Byrne and David Watson.
Jermain Defoe has made an additional 22 appearances as a starter and has himself been substituted in all except two of them.
Jermain Defoe did not play a complete 90 minutes until his 51st appearance for England.
Eight of Danny Murphy's appearances were as a substitute. In his only start, he was substituted at half-time.
Both Chalobah and Kelly were on the pitch for several minutes longer than the amount stated because of the addition of injury time. The previous record for shortest career was six minutes, by Peter Ward, whose only appearance was as an 85th-minute substitute on 31 May 1980 vs. Australia. Jim Barrett appeared once for England, against Ireland on 22 October 1928. He was injured after four minutes and left the field shortly after.
There is some dispute about Alexander Morten's date of birth, which is usually cited as 15 November 1831. If Morten is excluded, the oldest England debutant is Leslie Compton (q.v.).
Peter Shilton played in every World Cup finals match of his career, and his record also stands as the most consecutive World Cup finals appearances.
David Seaman was in three World Cup squads, but only made appearances at the last two. He was sent home from his first tournament with an injury before the competition began. Rio Ferdinand was in the squads at four World Cup tournaments, but only made appearances at the middle two and was replaced after suffering a pre-tournament injury at the fourth. Joe Cole was in the squad at three World Cup tournaments but only made appearances at the last two.
Bobby Charlton was also in the squad for the 1958 World Cup but did not make an appearance. He remains the only England player selected for four World Cup squads
Of these players, only David James played in a World Cup finals match at any other tournament (2010). All bar Alan Hodgkinson and George Eastham featured at some stage at the European Championship finals. Viv Anderson and Nigel Martyn were also selected for a European Championship finals squad without playing.
Alan Hodgkinson was a non-travelling reserve in 1958. However, FIFA's official World Cup records include him in the squad.
This is significant as it is rare for an outfield player of such age to be selected for a World Cup finals squad. The closest any player has coming to matching Stanley Matthews' record of more than 50 years' standing is Teddy Sheringham, who was 36 when he appeared at the 2002 World Cup.
Theo Walcott was 17 years old when he was selected for the 2006 World Cup squad but did not get on to the pitch during the tournament.
This was Stanley Matthews' last international match, and therefore the oldest anyone has appeared for England.
Laurie Hughes has an international record which is unlikely to be equalled – all of his England's games were at the World Cup finals. He was uncapped prior to the 1950 tournament, featured in all three group games and was not recalled after England's exit.
Allan Clarke also scored England's goal on his debut. Including Hughes and Clarke, a total of eight players have made their debuts at the World Cup finals. The others are Eddie Baily and Bill Eckersley (1950), Bill McGarry (1954), Peter Brabrook and Peter Broadbent (1958) and Alan Peacock (1962). Only one entirely uncapped outfield player has been selected for a World Cup since 1970, when Michael Dawson featured in the squad for the 2010 squad, but did not play.
Gary Neville only missed one European Championship finals match during his entire career, due to suspension.
Billy Wright made 105 appearances for England, but all prior to the founding of the European Championships.
Rio Ferdinand was an England player during the period when the team qualified for the 2000 and 2004 European Championship finals, but he was not selected for the 2000 squad and missed the 2004 finals due to a suspension for failing to take a drugs test. England failed to qualify for the 2008 finals. He was subsequently not selected for the 2012 squad
Phil Neville was in the squads at three European Championship tournaments, but only made appearances at the latter two. He also has the unusual honour of featuring in three European Championship squads without ever being selected for a World Cup.
Tony Adams was denied a place in England's 1992 European Championship squad by UEFA after the ruling body said his call-up as a replacement for an injured player was too late.
After Stuart Pearce withdrew with injury, Tony Dorigo was selected very late as a back-up player for the 1988 squad when he had never played for England. It would take until the end of 1989 before he finally made his debut.
Three other players, Gordon West in 1968, Tony Dorigo in 1988 and Jack Butland in 2012 have gone to a European Championship tournament without a cap to their name, but were not selected to play during the tournament.
Ashley Cole did not miss a tournament game for which he was available from his debut to his retirement from international soccer.
Emlyn Hughes was in the England squads at the 1970 World Cup and the 1980 European Championships, but did not make an appearance at either.
Tommy Wright made his England debut in the third-place play-off match at the 1968 European Championships and won his last cap at the 1970 World Cup.
England did not qualify for the final stages of three tournaments during Mick Channon's five-year international career.
'Competitive matches' include World Cup, European Championship and qualifiers. Bob Crompton appeared 41 times for England (3 March 1902 – 4 April 1914), but all before their first competitive match in October 1949. Sixteen additional players accumulated more than 19 caps during this period. If Home International appearances are included as "competitive", Tim Flowers (13 June 1993 – 27 May 1998) holds the record with 11 appearances. If Flowers is excluded because of participation in minor tournaments, Kevin Phillips (28 April 1999 – 13 February 2002) holds the record with 8 appearances.
George Eastham was selected for the squads for both the 1962 and 1966 World Cup finals, but featured in neither competition. His debut occurred after England had been eliminated in the qualifying stage of the 1964 European Championships. As hosts, England played no qualifying matches for the 1966 World Cup
Six of Billy Wright's Home International appearances were also qualifiers for the 1950 and 1954 World Cups. The record for "non-qualifier" Home International appearances is 34, by Bob Crompton (3 March 1902 – 4 April 1914).
The record for most appearances before playing on a losing team is held by Steven Gerrard who appeared in 21 internationals before featuring in a loss to Sweden on 31 March 2004.
The record for most appearances before playing on a winning team is held by Steve McMahon, who appeared in eight internationals before featuring in a victory over Yugoslavia on 13 December 1989.
Glenn Hoddle and Kenny Sansom played in the same five international matches at the Azteca Stadium. Only one of the matches was against Mexico, as the matches were either preparation for, or part of the 1986 World Cup. The most appearances at a single non-British ground against a non-neutral team is 3. This has been accomplished once by a number of players, and twice by Bobby Charlton (v Brazil at the Estádio do Maracanã, Rio de Janeiro, 13 May 1959 – 12 June 1969 and v Spain at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, Madrid, 15 May 1960 – 8 May 1968).
David Seaman and Rio Ferdinand's records are based on their winning at least one cap in each of the years stated. Peter Shilton played for England between 1970 and 1990, but was not selected for any games in 1976, leaving him with a record of 14 consecutive years of playing at least one match, one below Seaman and Ferdinand's, although the 20 calendar years total in which he played is a record. Stanley Matthews spent 24 calendar years as an England player (1934–1957) but played no games during the World War II years of 1940 to 1945 inclusive, nor in 1936, 1946 or 1952.
England played 17 matches in 1966; in no other year have they played more than 15. Gary Lineker and Des Walker appeared in all 15 of England's internationals in 1990.
England played 108 internationals between these two appearances, Ian Callaghan's second and third caps. This is also a record.
The only other England player to appear in six major tournaments is Steven Gerrard. However, Gerrard's tournament appearances were not consecutive, his having missed the 2002 World Cup through injury. Although Wayne Rooney's six tournament appearances were for consecutive tournaments for which England qualified, they were not for consecutive tournaments played, as England failed to qualify for the 2008 European Championships.
Gary Neville made 85 and Phil Neville 59 of their collective 144 appearances. They also hold the record for the most appearances in the same team by two brothers (31).
The eleven players in question were Gordon Banks, George Cohen, Ray Wilson, Nobby Stiles, Jack Charlton, Bobby Moore, Alan Ball, Geoff Hurst, Bobby Charlton, Roger Hunt and Martin Peters. The sequence was broken in 1967 when Jimmy Greaves was recalled in place of Hunt, and subsequently the eleven players never again played together for England. During this unbroken sequence of unchanged sides, England won the World Cup.
Only David Seaman has appeared under six non-caretaker (appointed) managers. These were Bobby Robson, Graham Taylor, Terry Venables, Glenn Hoddle, Kevin Keegan and Sven-Göran Eriksson.
Three of the managers under whom Gareth Barry appeared were caretaker managers only appointed for a single game (Howard Wilkinson, Peter Taylor and Stuart Pearce). He additionally appeared 4 times under Kevin Keegan, twice under Sven-Göran Eriksson, 8 times under Steve McClaren, 35 times under Fabio Capello and once under Roy Hodgson.
Owen Hargreaves and Jadon Sancho have since matched this achievement. Baker played for an English club only after his international career had begun. Hargreaves also did so following his transfer to Manchester United. Sancho has never made a senior appearance for an English club.
Jack Butland was playing for Stoke City in the second tier of English football at the time of this appearance.
Johnny Haynes played in the Second Division for Fulham from his debut in 1954 until Fulham were promoted at the end of the 1958–59 season. The longest career composed entirely of appearances while playing outside the top-flight is 23, by Gil Merrick of Birmingham City (1951–54). Coincidentally, Haynes' debut came in the match following Merrick's last appearance.
Between the introduction of the Second Division in 1894 and the introduction of the Third Division in 1920 the following players made five or more England appearances while playing for a professional club outside the league system – Vivian Woodward (Tottenham Hotspur, 15), Harold Fleming (Swindon Town, 11), Jack Robinson (New Brighton Tower and Southampton, 9) and Bob Hawkes (Luton Town, 5). Woodward and Hawkes were amateurs but played for professional clubs which would later join the league.
Reg Matthews, a goalkeeper, played for Coventry City in the Third Division (South). These five appearances comprised his entire England career.
David Beckham's caps were as follows – 36 with Real Madrid, 14 with the LA Galaxy and 5 while on loan from the LA Galaxy to Milan.
Vivian Woodward was Tottenham Hotspur's first England player in 1903, and the 78th was Harry Winks in 2017.
The players in question were Terry Butcher, Chris Woods, Gary Stevens, Trevor Steven, Mark Walters, Mark Hateley and Paul Gascoigne.
Only English clubs which remain in existence to this day have been included. Numerous now-defunct or franchised clubs have also provided England international players.
Leyton Orient was known as Clapton Orient during the period when their two players were capped by England.
Owen Hargreaves is also England's most capped player with one single non-English club.
Kevin Keegan's first appearance after joining Hamburger SV was also the first by any player representing a non-British side.
Joe Baker's first appearance was the first by any player who had never represented an English club.
This record does not include five caps attained while Beckham was on loan from LA Galaxy to Milan.
Vivian Woodward scored 29 goals for England between 1903 and 1911, and a further 44 goals for England Amateurs between 1906 and 1914, giving an overall total of 73. While the Football Association only recognizes Woodward's goals for the full England team, the FAs of each of the Amateur team's opponents recognize those fixtures as full internationals. See http://www.rsssf.com/miscellaneous/woodward-intl.html
Wayne Rooney's first goal in competitive football for England was against Macedonia in a qualifier for the 2004 European Championships and his 37th was against Iceland in the 2016 European Championships.
Playing for England Amateurs, Stanley Harris scored seven goals against France on 1 November 1906 and Vivian Woodward scored six against Netherlands on 11 December 1909. While not recognized by the Football Association, these matches are considered full internationals by the Dutch and French FAs.
Of these players, only Malcolm Macdonald scored five in a competitive match, a European Championship qualifier against Cyprus.
None of these players scored 4 times in a competitive match. Other than Malcolm Macdonald, only Jack Rowley, David Platt and Ian Wright have scored 4 goals in a competitive international for England. Vivian Woodward scored four goals in a match on three other occasions for England Amateurs in fixtures recognized as full internationals by their opponents' FAs.
Only one of Jimmy Greaves' hat-tricks came in a competitive match. Gary Lineker and Harry Kane hold the record for most competitive hat-tricks, with three each. Vivian Woodward scored four hat-tricks for England and a further six for England Amateurs in fixtures recognized as full internationals by their opponents' FAs.
The post-war record is six, by Harry Kane.
The post-war record is three, by Fred Pickering, who scored five goals in his three appearances between 27 May and 21 October 1964.
The post-war record is four, by Stan Mortensen in the 10–0 defeat of Portugal on 25 May 1947. The only other player to score four goals on debut was Digger Brown, in the same game in which Howard Vaughton set the record.
Including at least one goal in each match, the only time an England player has achieved this in either a World Cup or European Championship qualifying campaign.
All of Steve Bloomer's international appearances and goals were in the Home International Championships.
A season is assumed to run from 1 August to 31 July.
The post-war record is held by Jimmy Greaves who scored 10 goals against Northern Ireland between 1960 and 1964.
The post-war record is 6, held jointly by Tom Finney vs. Portugal (1947 – 1951) and Gary Lineker vs. Poland (1986 – 1991) and Turkey (1985 – 1987).
Excluding penalty shoot-outs, Frank Lampard and Harry Kane both have nine successful penalties from eleven attempts, missing two. Of players who never missed a penalty, the top-scorer is Wayne Rooney who converted all seven of his attempts.
One of Michael Owen's penalty shootout goals was scored in a friendly tournament, the 1998 King Hassan II International Cup Tournament. All of David Platt and Alan Shearer's penalty shootout goals were scored in either World Cup or European Championship finals matches.
This game ended in defeat for England after a penalty shoot-out.
Digger Brown scored four and his Aston Villa colleague Howard Vaughton 5 in this game. However, contemporary reports do not record the timing of the goals so it is not possible to say who achieved the hat-trick first.
The goalscorers were Luther Blissett (3), Tony Woodcock, Steve Coppell, Glenn Hoddle, Mark Chamberlain, Phil Neal and Marcel Bossi, a Luxembourg player who scored an own goal.
The goalscorers were Jermain Defoe (2), Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Ashley Young, Frank Lampard, Wayne Rooney, Daniel Sturridge and Allesandro Della Valle, a San Marino player who scored an own goal.
Tony Adams scored goals in non-consecutive decades (1980s and 2000s) but failed to score in the 1990s. He scored in his last game of the 1980s and in his first game of the 2000s.
Dietmar Hamann was the last player to score at the old Wembley when Germany defeated England 1–0 later in 2000.
George Camsell's record is for players who have appeared more than once for England. Five pre-World War I players, Albert Allen, John Yates, Walter Gilliat, John Veitch and Frank Bradshaw each scored three goals in a single appearance for England. Five additional players, William Kenyon-Slaney, Harold Halse, Billy Moore, Joe Payne and John Haines each scored twice on their sole England appearance.
All of Vivian Woodward's 29 England goals were scored from outside the First Division. His first 16 goals were scored when Tottenham Hotspur were a non-league club. After Tottenham's election to the Second division in 1908, Woodward scored a further 11 England goals while a Tottenham player, and a further 2 after being transferred to Second Division Chelsea prior to the 1909–10 season. The player with the most goals from outside the top tier since the introduction of the four division system in 1921 is Mick Channon, who scored 14 of his 21 England goals while Southampton were a Second Division club.
Between the introduction of the Second Division in 1894 and the introduction of the Third Division in 1920 both Vivian Woodward of Tottenham Hotspur and Harold Fleming of Swindon Town scored two or more goals for England while playing for professional clubs outside the league system, Woodward, an amateur, scoring 16 and Fleming 9.
Tommy Lawton played for Notts County, Joe Payne for Luton Town and Peter Taylor for Crystal Palace. These were Payne and Taylor's only England goals.
David Platt's goals were as follows – 4 while with Bari, 9 while with Juventus and 6 while with Sampdoria.
Only English clubs which remain in existence to this day, and have provided at least one international goalscorer have been included. Numerous now-defunct or franchised clubs have also provided England international goalscorers.
Some authorities (e.g. englandfootballonline.com) credit Billy Bassett with 7 goals, only counting one in the 3–2 defeat by Scotland on 13 April 1889.
There is some dispute about Alexander Morten's date of birth, which is usually cited as 15 November 1831. If Morten is excluded, the oldest player to captain England is Peter Shilton, who was aged 40 years and 292 days when he captained in his final international match against Italy on 7 July 1990.
David Beckham's total includes the two yellow cards which led to his red card against Austria in 2005.
England lost on penalties
Paul Ince's red card meant that players had been sent off in two consecutive England internationals for the first time.
David Batty is the only England player to have been sent off on his final international appearance.
With this red card, David Beckham became the first player to be sent off twice while playing for England.
Robert Green was the first goalkeeper to be sent off while playing for England.
Steven Gerrard was the first England player to be sent off at the new Wembley Stadium.
England's two largest victories (13–0 away and then 13–2 at home) coincidentally both occurred on 18 February, against Ireland. Four of England's five largest margins of victory occurred away from home. As well as the 13–0 victory, they defeated Austria 11–1 in 1908, Portugal 10–0 in 1947 and the United States 10–0 in 1964.
World Cup qualifier.
European Championship qualifier.
World Cup Finals Round of 16.
The post-war record is 8, achieved on two occasions : 29 March 2003 vs. Liechtenstein – 10 September 2003 vs. Liechtenstein and 8 October 2005 vs. Austria – 15 June 2006 vs. Trinidad & Tobago.
These games comprised the qualifying competition for the 2016 European Championship
The post-war record is 19, 10 November 1965 vs. Northern Ireland – 16 November 1966 vs. Wales. These games included England's 1966 World Cup victory.
These games included England's participation in the semi-finals and third place play-off of the 2018 World Cup.
These games included England's participation in the 1958 World Cup.
The post-war record is 19, 19 October 1948 vs. Northern Ireland – 15 November 1950 vs. Wales. These games included England's participation in the 1950 World Cup.
The post-war record is 18, 7 October 1950 vs. Northern Ireland – 18 April 1953 vs. Scotland.
The players in question were Frank Moss, George Male, Eddie Hapgood, Wilf Copping, Ray Bowden, Ted Drake and Cliff Bastin
Five Manchester United players started: Gary Neville, David Beckham, Nicky Butt, Paul Scholes and Andrew Cole. Wes Brown (29 min) and Teddy Sheringham (84 min) came on as substitutes.
The players in question were Steven Gerrard, Jordan Henderson, Glen Johnson, Raheem Sterling and Daniel Sturridge, who started the match, and Rickie Lambert who came on as an 87th-minute substitute.
Liverpool have achieved this feat of having six players in a squad three times; no other team has achieved this once. Everton provided five players to the 1968 European Championships squad, Tottenham Hotspur provided five players to the 2010 World Cup squad and both Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur provided five players to the 2016 European Championships squad. The Liverpool players in question were: (1980 European Championships) – Ray Clemence, David Johnson, Ray Kennedy, Terry McDermott, Phil Neal and Phil Thompson; (2012 European Championships) – Andy Carroll, Stewart Downing, Steven Gerrard, Jordan Henderson, Glen Johnson and Martin Kelly; (2014 World Cup) – Steven Gerrard, Jordan Henderson, Glen Johnson, Rickie Lambert, Raheem Sterling and Daniel Sturridge
Gordon Banks did not concede a goal for 721 minutes during this run, from Jimmy Johnstone's 81st-minute goal for Scotland on 2 April 1966 to Eusébio's 82nd-minute penalty for Portugal in the World Cup semi-final on 26 July 1966. England did concede a goal to Norway during this run but Banks did not play in that match.
This record is specific to penalties 'saved' rather than 'not scored'. Two goalkeepers, Harry Hibbs and David Seaman, have faced three penalties from which the opposition failed to score. Each only actually saved one of the penalties faced, however. In both cases, one of the remaining penalties hit the crossbar and the other was sent wide.
Of these five players, David Beckham missed both of his kicks in competitive internationals: a European Championship qualifier and a group match at a European Championship finals. One of Harry Kane's misses came in a European Championship qualifier and the other in a friendly. Ernest Needham, Roger Byrne, Francis Lee and Frank Lampard's kicks were not in tournament or qualifying matches, although both of Needham's and one of Lee's occurred in Home International matches. Additionally, Beckham and Lampard have missed a kick in a shoot-out. In total, England have missed thirteen shoot-out penalties in competitive internationals, namely Stuart Pearce, Chris Waddle (1990 World Cup vs. West Germany), Gareth Southgate (1996 European Championship vs. Germany), Paul Ince, David Batty (1998 World Cup vs. Argentina), David Beckham, Darius Vassell (2004 European Championship vs. Portugal), Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard, Jamie Carragher (2006 World Cup vs. Portugal), Ashley Young, Ashley Cole (2012 European Championship vs. Italy), Jordan Henderson (2018 World Cup vs. Colombia). In addition, Robert Lee and Les Ferdinand missed shoot-out penalties in the minor 1998 King Hassan II International Cup Tournament vs. Belgium.
Scott Parker played for his fifth club, Tottenham Hotspur, in only his seventh international appearance. Uniquely, his first four appearances were with four clubs.
Joe Mercer was appointed on a temporary basis between the dismissal of Alf Ramsey and the appointment of Don Revie.
Peter Taylor was appointed on a temporary basis between the resignation of Kevin Keegan and the appointment of Sven-Göran Eriksson.
Stuart Pearce was appointed on a temporary basis between the resignation of Fabio Capello and the appointment of Roy Hodgson.

[2] All of Steven Gerrard's appearances were made while playing for Liverpool and he holds the record for most appearances with one club.

[3] Billy Wright's consecutive appearances were the last 70 of his international career. He had a further streak of 33 consecutive appearances at the start of his career, a total only exceeded by Ron Flowers (40) and Kenny Sansom (37), and equalled by Roger Byrne and David Watson.

[4] Jermain Defoe has made an additional 22 appearances as a starter and has himself been substituted in all except two of them.

[5] Jermain Defoe did not play a complete 90 minutes until his 51st appearance for England.

[6] Eight of Danny Murphy's appearances were as a substitute. In his only start, he was substituted at half-time.

[7] Both Chalobah and Kelly were on the pitch for several minutes longer than the amount stated because of the addition of injury time. The previous record for shortest career was six minutes, by Peter Ward, whose only appearance was as an 85th-minute substitute on 31 May 1980 vs. Australia. Jim Barrett appeared once for England, against Ireland on 22 October 1928. He was injured after four minutes and left the field shortly after.

[8] There is some dispute about Alexander Morten's date of birth, which is usually cited as 15 November 1831. If Morten is excluded, the oldest England debutant is Leslie Compton (q.v.).

[9] Peter Shilton played in every World Cup finals match of his career, and his record also stands as the most consecutive World Cup finals appearances.

[10] David Seaman was in three World Cup squads, but only made appearances at the last two. He was sent home from his first tournament with an injury before the competition began. Rio Ferdinand was in the squads at four World Cup tournaments, but only made appearances at the middle two and was replaced after suffering a pre-tournament injury at the fourth. Joe Cole was in the squad at three World Cup tournaments but only made appearances at the last two.

[11] Bobby Charlton was also in the squad for the 1958 World Cup but did not make an appearance. He remains the only England player selected for four World Cup squads

[12] Of these players, only David James played in a World Cup finals match at any other tournament (2010). All bar Alan Hodgkinson and George Eastham featured at some stage at the European Championship finals. Viv Anderson and Nigel Martyn were also selected for a European Championship finals squad without playing.

[13] Alan Hodgkinson was a non-travelling reserve in 1958. However, FIFA's official World Cup records include him in the squad.

[14] This is significant as it is rare for an outfield player of such age to be selected for a World Cup finals squad. The closest any player has coming to matching Stanley Matthews' record of more than 50 years' standing is Teddy Sheringham, who was 36 when he appeared at the 2002 World Cup.

[15] Theo Walcott was 17 years old when he was selected for the 2006 World Cup squad but did not get on to the pitch during the tournament.

[16] This was Stanley Matthews' last international match, and therefore the oldest anyone has appeared for England.

[17] Laurie Hughes has an international record which is unlikely to be equalled – all of his England's games were at the World Cup finals. He was uncapped prior to the 1950 tournament, featured in all three group games and was not recalled after England's exit.

[18] Allan Clarke also scored England's goal on his debut. Including Hughes and Clarke, a total of eight players have made their debuts at the World Cup finals. The others are Eddie Baily and Bill Eckersley (1950), Bill McGarry (1954), Peter Brabrook and Peter Broadbent (1958) and Alan Peacock (1962). Only one entirely uncapped outfield player has been selected for a World Cup since 1970, when Michael Dawson featured in the squad for the 2010 squad, but did not play.

[19] Gary Neville only missed one European Championship finals match during his entire career, due to suspension.

[20] Billy Wright made 105 appearances for England, but all prior to the founding of the European Championships.

[21] Rio Ferdinand was an England player during the period when the team qualified for the 2000 and 2004 European Championship finals, but he was not selected for the 2000 squad and missed the 2004 finals due to a suspension for failing to take a drugs test. England failed to qualify for the 2008 finals. He was subsequently not selected for the 2012 squad

[22] Phil Neville was in the squads at three European Championship tournaments, but only made appearances at the latter two. He also has the unusual honour of featuring in three European Championship squads without ever being selected for a World Cup.

[23] Tony Adams was denied a place in England's 1992 European Championship squad by UEFA after the ruling body said his call-up as a replacement for an injured player was too late.

[24] After Stuart Pearce withdrew with injury, Tony Dorigo was selected very late as a back-up player for the 1988 squad when he had never played for England. It would take until the end of 1989 before he finally made his debut.

[25] Three other players, Gordon West in 1968, Tony Dorigo in 1988 and Jack Butland in 2012 have gone to a European Championship tournament without a cap to their name, but were not selected to play during the tournament.

[26] Ashley Cole did not miss a tournament game for which he was available from his debut to his retirement from international soccer.

[27] Emlyn Hughes was in the England squads at the 1970 World Cup and the 1980 European Championships, but did not make an appearance at either.

[28] Tommy Wright made his England debut in the third-place play-off match at the 1968 European Championships and won his last cap at the 1970 World Cup.

[29] England did not qualify for the final stages of three tournaments during Mick Channon's five-year international career.

[30] 'Competitive matches' include World Cup, European Championship and qualifiers. Bob Crompton appeared 41 times for England (3 March 1902 – 4 April 1914), but all before their first competitive match in October 1949. Sixteen additional players accumulated more than 19 caps during this period. If Home International appearances are included as "competitive", Tim Flowers (13 June 1993 – 27 May 1998) holds the record with 11 appearances. If Flowers is excluded because of participation in minor tournaments, Kevin Phillips (28 April 1999 – 13 February 2002) holds the record with 8 appearances.

[31] George Eastham was selected for the squads for both the 1962 and 1966 World Cup finals, but featured in neither competition. His debut occurred after England had been eliminated in the qualifying stage of the 1964 European Championships. As hosts, England played no qualifying matches for the 1966 World Cup

[32] Six of Billy Wright's Home International appearances were also qualifiers for the 1950 and 1954 World Cups. The record for "non-qualifier" Home International appearances is 34, by Bob Crompton (3 March 1902 – 4 April 1914).

[33] The record for most appearances before playing on a losing team is held by Steven Gerrard who appeared in 21 internationals before featuring in a loss to Sweden on 31 March 2004.

[34] The record for most appearances before playing on a winning team is held by Steve McMahon, who appeared in eight internationals before featuring in a victory over Yugoslavia on 13 December 1989.

[35] Glenn Hoddle and Kenny Sansom played in the same five international matches at the Azteca Stadium. Only one of the matches was against Mexico, as the matches were either preparation for, or part of the 1986 World Cup. The most appearances at a single non-British ground against a non-neutral team is 3. This has been accomplished once by a number of players, and twice by Bobby Charlton (v Brazil at the Estádio do Maracanã, Rio de Janeiro, 13 May 1959 – 12 June 1969 and v Spain at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, Madrid, 15 May 1960 – 8 May 1968).

[36] David Seaman and Rio Ferdinand's records are based on their winning at least one cap in each of the years stated. Peter Shilton played for England between 1970 and 1990, but was not selected for any games in 1976, leaving him with a record of 14 consecutive years of playing at least one match, one below Seaman and Ferdinand's, although the 20 calendar years total in which he played is a record. Stanley Matthews spent 24 calendar years as an England player (1934–1957) but played no games during the World War II years of 1940 to 1945 inclusive, nor in 1936, 1946 or 1952.

[37] England played 17 matches in 1966; in no other year have they played more than 15. Gary Lineker and Des Walker appeared in all 15 of England's internationals in 1990.

[38] England played 108 internationals between these two appearances, Ian Callaghan's second and third caps. This is also a record.

[39] The only other England player to appear in six major tournaments is Steven Gerrard. However, Gerrard's tournament appearances were not consecutive, his having missed the 2002 World Cup through injury. Although Wayne Rooney's six tournament appearances were for consecutive tournaments for which England qualified, they were not for consecutive tournaments played, as England failed to qualify for the 2008 European Championships.

[40] Gary Neville made 85 and Phil Neville 59 of their collective 144 appearances. They also hold the record for the most appearances in the same team by two brothers (31).

[41] The eleven players in question were Gordon Banks, George Cohen, Ray Wilson, Nobby Stiles, Jack Charlton, Bobby Moore, Alan Ball, Geoff Hurst, Bobby Charlton, Roger Hunt and Martin Peters. The sequence was broken in 1967 when Jimmy Greaves was recalled in place of Hunt, and subsequently the eleven players never again played together for England. During this unbroken sequence of unchanged sides, England won the World Cup.

[42] Only David Seaman has appeared under six non-caretaker (appointed) managers. These were Bobby Robson, Graham Taylor, Terry Venables, Glenn Hoddle, Kevin Keegan and Sven-Göran Eriksson.

[43] Three of the managers under whom Gareth Barry appeared were caretaker managers only appointed for a single game (Howard Wilkinson, Peter Taylor and Stuart Pearce). He additionally appeared 4 times under Kevin Keegan, twice under Sven-Göran Eriksson, 8 times under Steve McClaren, 35 times under Fabio Capello and once under Roy Hodgson.

[44] Owen Hargreaves and Jadon Sancho have since matched this achievement. Baker played for an English club only after his international career had begun. Hargreaves also did so following his transfer to Manchester United. Sancho has never made a senior appearance for an English club.

[45] Jack Butland was playing for Stoke City in the second tier of English football at the time of this appearance.

[46] Johnny Haynes played in the Second Division for Fulham from his debut in 1954 until Fulham were promoted at the end of the 1958–59 season. The longest career composed entirely of appearances while playing outside the top-flight is 23, by Gil Merrick of Birmingham City (1951–54). Coincidentally, Haynes' debut came in the match following Merrick's last appearance.

[47] Between the introduction of the Second Division in 1894 and the introduction of the Third Division in 1920 the following players made five or more England appearances while playing for a professional club outside the league system – Vivian Woodward (Tottenham Hotspur, 15), Harold Fleming (Swindon Town, 11), Jack Robinson (New Brighton Tower and Southampton, 9) and Bob Hawkes (Luton Town, 5). Woodward and Hawkes were amateurs but played for professional clubs which would later join the league.

[48] Reg Matthews, a goalkeeper, played for Coventry City in the Third Division (South). These five appearances comprised his entire England career.

[49] David Beckham's caps were as follows – 36 with Real Madrid, 14 with the LA Galaxy and 5 while on loan from the LA Galaxy to Milan.

[52] Vivian Woodward was Tottenham Hotspur's first England player in 1903, and the 78th was Harry Winks in 2017.

[53] The players in question were Terry Butcher, Chris Woods, Gary Stevens, Trevor Steven, Mark Walters, Mark Hateley and Paul Gascoigne.

[54] Only English clubs which remain in existence to this day have been included. Numerous now-defunct or franchised clubs have also provided England international players.

[55] Leyton Orient was known as Clapton Orient during the period when their two players were capped by England.

[56] Owen Hargreaves is also England's most capped player with one single non-English club.

[57] Kevin Keegan's first appearance after joining Hamburger SV was also the first by any player representing a non-British side.

[58] Joe Baker's first appearance was the first by any player who had never represented an English club.

[60] Vivian Woodward scored 29 goals for England between 1903 and 1911, and a further 44 goals for England Amateurs between 1906 and 1914, giving an overall total of 73. While the Football Association only recognizes Woodward's goals for the full England team, the FAs of each of the Amateur team's opponents recognize those fixtures as full internationals. See http://www.rsssf.com/miscellaneous/woodward-intl.html

[61] Wayne Rooney's first goal in competitive football for England was against Macedonia in a qualifier for the 2004 European Championships and his 37th was against Iceland in the 2016 European Championships.

[62] Playing for England Amateurs, Stanley Harris scored seven goals against France on 1 November 1906 and Vivian Woodward scored six against Netherlands on 11 December 1909. While not recognized by the Football Association, these matches are considered full internationals by the Dutch and French FAs.

[63] Of these players, only Malcolm Macdonald scored five in a competitive match, a European Championship qualifier against Cyprus.

[64] None of these players scored 4 times in a competitive match. Other than Malcolm Macdonald, only Jack Rowley, David Platt and Ian Wright have scored 4 goals in a competitive international for England. Vivian Woodward scored four goals in a match on three other occasions for England Amateurs in fixtures recognized as full internationals by their opponents' FAs.

[65] Only one of Jimmy Greaves' hat-tricks came in a competitive match. Gary Lineker and Harry Kane hold the record for most competitive hat-tricks, with three each. Vivian Woodward scored four hat-tricks for England and a further six for England Amateurs in fixtures recognized as full internationals by their opponents' FAs.

[66] The post-war record is six, by Harry Kane.

[67] The post-war record is three, by Fred Pickering, who scored five goals in his three appearances between 27 May and 21 October 1964.

[73] The post-war record is 6, held jointly by Tom Finney vs. Portugal (1947 – 1951) and Gary Lineker vs. Poland (1986 – 1991) and Turkey (1985 – 1987).

[74] Excluding penalty shoot-outs, Frank Lampard and Harry Kane both have nine successful penalties from eleven attempts, missing two. Of players who never missed a penalty, the top-scorer is Wayne Rooney who converted all seven of his attempts.

[75] One of Michael Owen's penalty shootout goals was scored in a friendly tournament, the 1998 King Hassan II International Cup Tournament. All of David Platt and Alan Shearer's penalty shootout goals were scored in either World Cup or European Championship finals matches.

[76] This game ended in defeat for England after a penalty shoot-out.

[77] Digger Brown scored four and his Aston Villa colleague Howard Vaughton 5 in this game. However, contemporary reports do not record the timing of the goals so it is not possible to say who achieved the hat-trick first.

[78] The goalscorers were Luther Blissett (3), Tony Woodcock, Steve Coppell, Glenn Hoddle, Mark Chamberlain, Phil Neal and Marcel Bossi, a Luxembourg player who scored an own goal.

[79] The goalscorers were Jermain Defoe (2), Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Ashley Young, Frank Lampard, Wayne Rooney, Daniel Sturridge and Allesandro Della Valle, a San Marino player who scored an own goal.

[81] Dietmar Hamann was the last player to score at the old Wembley when Germany defeated England 1–0 later in 2000.

Five additional players, William Kenyon-Slaney, Harold Halse, Billy Moore, Joe Payne and John Haines each scored twice on their sole England appearance.

[83] All of Vivian Woodward's 29 England goals were scored from outside the First Division. His first 16 goals were scored when Tottenham Hotspur were a non-league club. After Tottenham's election to the Second division in 1908, Woodward scored a further 11 England goals while a Tottenham player, and a further 2 after being transferred to Second Division Chelsea prior to the 1909–10 season. The player with the most goals from outside the top tier since the introduction of the four division system in 1921 is Mick Channon, who scored 14 of his 21 England goals while Southampton were a Second Division club.

[84] Between the introduction of the Second Division in 1894 and the introduction of the Third Division in 1920 both Vivian Woodward of Tottenham Hotspur and Harold Fleming of Swindon Town scored two or more goals for England while playing for professional clubs outside the league system, Woodward, an amateur, scoring 16 and Fleming 9.

[86] David Platt's goals were as follows – 4 while with Bari, 9 while with Juventus and 6 while with Sampdoria.

[87] Only English clubs which remain in existence to this day, and have provided at least one international goalscorer have been included. Numerous now-defunct or franchised clubs have also provided England international goalscorers.

[88] Some authorities (e.g. englandfootballonline.com) credit Billy Bassett with 7 goals, only counting one in the 3–2 defeat by Scotland on 13 April 1889.

[89] There is some dispute about Alexander Morten's date of birth, which is usually cited as 15 November 1831.

[96] With this red card, David Beckham became the first player to be sent off twice while playing for England.

[97] Robert Green was the first goalkeeper to be sent off while playing for England.

[98] Steven Gerrard was the first England player to be sent off at the new Wembley Stadium.

England did concede a goal to Norway during this run but Banks did not play in that match.

[115] This record is specific to penalties 'saved' rather than 'not scored'. Two goalkeepers, Harry Hibbs and David Seaman, have faced three penalties from which the opposition failed to score. Each only actually saved one of the penalties faced, however. In both cases, one of the remaining penalties hit the crossbar and the other was sent wide.

[116] Of these five players, David Beckham missed both of his kicks in competitive internationals: a European Championship qualifier and a group match at a European Championship finals. One of Harry Kane's misses came in a European Championship qualifier and the other in a friendly.
