[edit] Notes

  1. ^ a b David Beckham remains an active international, and this total may extend as a consequence.
  2. ^ 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 Dave Watson.
  3. ^ Jermain Defoe remains an active England international, and this record may extend as a consequence. He has made an additional 17 appearances as a starter and has himself been substituted in all of them.
  4. ^ Carlton Cole remains an active England international, and this record may extend as a consequence. If Cole ultimately starts a match, the record would revert to Ugo Ehiogu who played 4 times as a substitute without starting a match.
  5. ^ If Home International appearances are included as 'competitive', Peter Shilton, holds the record with 71 appearances (53 World Cup, European Championship and qualifiers, and 18 Home Internationals).
  6. ^ Jim Barrett appeared once for England, against Ireland on 22 October 1928. He was injured after four minutes and left the field shortly after.
  7. ^ Roger Byrne was killed in the Munich Air Disaster in February 1958.
  8. ^ Theo Walcott made his England debut before he had made his debut for Arsenal, who had signed him four months earlier from Southampton but chosen to introduce him to the top-flight game on a gradual basis.
  9. ^ 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.).
  10. ^ 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. Three other players, Bobby Charlton, Bobby Moore and Ashley Cole, have also played in every England match at three (consecutive) World Cups, but each only achieved a total of 14 appearances.
  11. ^ Dave Watson won his 65th England cap in the penultimate warm-up game before the 1982 World Cup but was then left out of the final squad, and was not recalled afterwards.
  12. ^ David Seaman was in the squads at three World Cup tournaments, but only made appearances at the latter 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 latter. Joe Cole was in the squad at three World Cup tournaments but only made appearances at the latter two.
  13. ^ 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
  14. ^ Of these players, only David James played in a World Cup finals match at any other tournament, when he featured at the 2010 competition. All bar Alan Hodgkinson and George Eastham featured at some stage at the European Championship finals. Hodgkinson and Eastham's international careers were over by the time England had qualified for their first tournament in 1968. Viv Anderson and Nigel Martyn were also selected to a European Championship finals squad without playing.
  15. ^ Alan Hodgkinson was a non-travelling reserve in 1958. However, FIFA's official World Cup records include him in the squad.
  16. ^ 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.
  17. ^ 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.
  18. ^ This was Stanley Matthews' last international match, and therefore the oldest anyone has appeared for England.
  19. ^ 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.
  20. ^ 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.
  21. ^ Gary Neville only missed one European Championship finals match during his entire career, due to suspension.
  22. ^ Stuart Pearce missed both the 1988 and 2000 European Championship finals through injury. Alan Shearer also played one match in the 1992 finals, but then missed the next one at the same tournament.
  23. ^ Billy Wright made 105 appearances for England, but all prior to the founding of the European Championships.
  24. ^ 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.
  25. ^ Philip 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.
  26. ^ 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.
  27. ^ 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.
  28. ^ Tommy Wright's achievement has yet to be equalled. Only one player, Tony Dorigo in 1988, has since gone to a European Championship tournament without a cap to his name, but he was not selected to play.
  29. ^ Peter Shilton was not selected for three tournament games for which he was available - two at the 1980 European Championships, one at the 1988 European Championships, while David Beckham was not selected for just one tournament game for which he was available - at the 1998 World Cup.
  30. ^ 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.
  31. ^ 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.
  32. ^ England did not qualify for the final stages of three tournaments during Mick Channon's five-year international career.
  33. ^ 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).
  34. ^ 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.
  35. ^ 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.
  36. ^ England played 108 internationals between these two appearances, Ian Callaghan's second and third caps. This is also a record.
  37. ^ Tony Adams holds this record exclusively.
  38. ^ Gary Neville made 85 and Philip Neville 59 of their collective 144 appearances. Philip Neville remains an active player and this record may extend as a consequence.
  39. ^ 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.
  40. ^ Only Owen Hargreaves has since matched this achievement. Baker eventually played for an English club only after his international career had begun. Hargreaves also did so in the autumn of 2007 following his transfer to Manchester United.
  41. ^ Jay Bothroyd was playing for Cardiff City in the second tier of English football at the time of this appearance.
  42. ^ 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.
  43. ^ David Beckham's caps have been as follows – 36 with Real Madrid, 14 with L.A. Galaxy and 5 while on loan from L.A. Galaxy to Milan. Beckham remains an active international, and this record may extend as a consequence.
  44. ^ Arthur Brown was Aston Villa's first England player in 1882, and the 72nd was Stewart Downing in 2011. No fewer than 21 of Villa's 72 England internationals played just once for the national team during their time at the club, and 13 of these had only a single cap in their careers. In these statistical records, Scott Carson in 2007 also goes on to the record of Aston Villa players who have turned out for England, despite being on loan from Liverpool at the time.
  45. ^ 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.
  46. ^ a b c d e f Peter Shilton (Derby County and Southampton) and Gordon Banks (Leicester City and Stoke City) are the only players to hold the record for England appearances with two different English clubs outright. Kenny Sansom holds one outright at Arsenal, and one jointly at Crystal Palace.
  47. ^ a b c Frank Lampard remains an active international, and this record may extend as a consequence.
  48. ^ a b c d Terry Butcher (Ipswich Town and Rangers), Glenn Hoddle (Tottenham Hotspur and Monaco) and Dave Watson (Sunderland and Werder Bremen) are the only players to hold the record for England appearances with both an English and a non-English club.
  49. ^ Leyton Orient was known as Clapton Orient during the period when their two players were capped by England.
  50. ^ Steven Gerrard remains an active international, and this record may extend as a consequence.
  51. ^ The Dave Watson who made the most appearances for England while playing for Norwich City and the Dave Watson who made the most appearances while playing for Sunderland and Werder Bremen are two different players.
  52. ^ This is the Dave Watson who also holds Werder Bremen's record for England appearances, not the player of the same name at Norwich City. Terry Butcher, Glenn Hoddle and Dave Watson all hold the record for England appearances with one English club (Ipswich Town, Tottenham Hotspur and Sunderland respectively) and one non-English club.
  53. ^ These are all of the non-English clubs which have supplied England international players.
  54. ^ a b c d David Platt (Bari and Juventus) and David Beckham (Real Madrid and L.A. Galaxy) are the only two players to hold an appearances record for England with two different non-English clubs.
  55. ^ Owen Hargreaves is also England's most capped player with one single non-English club.
  56. ^ Cardiff City is a Welsh club operating within the English league system.
  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.
  59. ^ This record does not include 5 caps attained while David Beckham was on loan from L.A. Galaxy to Milan. Beckham remains an active international, and this record may extend as a consequence.
  60. ^ This is the Dave Watson who also holds Sunderland's record for England appearances, not the player of the same name at Norwich City. Terry Butcher, Glenn Hoddle and Dave Watson all hold the record for England appearances with one English club (Ipswich Town, Tottenham Hotspur and Sunderland respectively) and one non-English club.

  63. ^ Michael Owen's first goal in competitive football for England was against Romania at the 1998 World Cup, and his 26th came in a qualifier for the 2008 European Championships against Russia. For the 12 months prior to his 23rd goal, Owen shared this record with Gary Lineker.
  64. ^ This record is for scoring in consecutive England international games. The post-war record is 5, shared by Jimmy Greaves, Tommy Lawton, Nat Lofthouse and Bobby Smith.
  65. ^ This record is for scoring in consecutive appearances by the player for England. George Camsell played 9 internationals between 9 May 1929 and 9 May 1936 and scored in all of them. The post-war record is 5, shared by Tom Finney, Jimmy Greaves, Tommy Lawton, Nat Lofthouse, Paul Mariner and Bobby Smith.
  66. ^ Steve Bloomer scored 19 goals in these 10 games, and scored in three of his next four appearances.
  67. ^ The post-war record is 4, 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.
  68. ^ Gary Lineker's hat-trick came in regulation time, whereas two of Geoff Hurst's trio came in a 30-minute period of extra-time. Lineker therefore is the only player to score a World Cup finals hat-trick during a regular 90 minute period.
  69. ^ All of Steve Bloomer's international appearances and goals were in the Home International Championships.
  70. ^ The post-war record is held by Peter Crouch who scored 11 goals in 2006. Vivian Woodward scored 21 goals in the calendar years 1908 and 1909.
  71. ^ To ensure tournament matches in July are included in the leading season, a season is assumed to run from August 1 to July 31 of the next year.
  72. ^ Frank Lampard's successful kicks in penalty shoot-outs do not count. He has taken nine penalties (also a record), missing two. Lampard remains an active international, and this record may extend as a consequence. Of players who never missed a penalty for England, the top-scorer is Ron Flowers who converted all 6 of his attempts.
  73. ^ Tom Finney scored two other goals in this match.
  74. ^ Geoff Hurst scored a penalty in each of his subsequent two internationals. His overall total of four penalties were scored in 59 days.
  75. ^ Gary Lineker's brace were the only ones scored in a competitive match, the World Cup quarter final. His second penalty was the only one earned or converted during extra-time.
  76. ^ Goals scored in penalty shoot-outs do not count on a player's overall scoring tally.
  77. ^ John Terry remains an active international, and this record may become his outright and extend as a consequence.
  78. ^ Bryan Robson's goal was also the fastest in the history of the World Cup finals until it was beaten by Hakan Şükür of Turkey in 2002.
  79. ^ This game ended in defeat for England after a penalty shoot-out.
  80. ^ Digger Brown scored 4 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.
  81. ^ Ashley Cole remains an active England international, and this record may extend or change as a consequence.
  82. ^ The goalscorers were Luther Blissett, Tony Woodcock, Steve Coppell, Glenn Hoddle, Mark Chamberlain, Phil Neal and a Luxembourg player who scored an own goal.
  83. ^ Dietmar Hamann was the last player to score at the old Wembley when Germany defeated England 1-0 later in 2000.
  84. ^ 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.
  85. ^ 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.
  86. ^ a b Michael Owen is the only player to hold this record with an English club (Liverpool) and a non-English club (Real Madrid, jointly with David Beckham). No player holds the record with multiple English clubs.
  87. ^ 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.
  88. ^ These are all of the non-English clubs which have supplied England international goalscorers.
  89. ^ a b c David Platt uniquely holds this record with three non-English clubs, Bari, Juventus and Sampdoria.
  90. ^ Kevin Keegan's first goal after joining Hamburger SV was also the first by any player representing a non-British side.
  91. ^ 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.
  92. ^ Until the introduction of the red and yellow card system in 1970, records of players being booked are sketchy and unreliable. David Beckham's total does not include the two yellow cards which led to his red card against Austria in 2005.
  93. ^ Alan Mullery was the first England player to be sent off, and also the first and remains the only player to be sent off in the European Championship finals.
  94. ^ Trevor Cherry was the first and remains the only player to be sent off in a friendly international.
  95. ^ Ray Wilkins was the first player to be sent off in the World Cup finals.
  96. ^ Paul Ince's red card meant that players had been sent off in two consecutive England internationals for the first time.
  97. ^ Paul Scholes was the first and only England player to be sent off at the original Wembley Stadium.
  98. ^ David Batty was the first and only England player to be sent off on his final international appearance.
  99. ^ With this red card, David Beckham became the first player to be sent off twice while playing for England.
  100. ^ Robert Green was the first goalkeeper to be sent off while playing for England.
  101. ^ England's two largest victories (13-0 away and 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 USA 10-0 in 1964.
  102. ^ 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.
  103. ^ 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.
  104. ^ These games occurred in the group stages of the 1988 European Championship.
  105. ^ These games included England's participation in the 1958 World Cup.
  106. ^ 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.
  107. ^ The post-war record is 18, 7 October 1950 vs. Northern Ireland – 18 April 1953 vs. Scotland.
  108. ^ England were defeated in a penalty shoot-out to Portugal in the second of these games, the 2006 World Cup Quarter-final. The previous occasion was 30 March 1983 vs. Greece – 15 June 1983 vs. Australia.
  109. ^ The players in question were Terry Butcher, Chris Woods, Gary Stevens, Trevor Steven, Mark Walters, Mark Hateley and Paul Gascoigne. Butcher was Rangers' first England player in 1986, and the seventh was Gascoigne in 1995. No player from Rangers has been called up to an England squad since Gascoigne's departure in 1997.
  110. ^ The players in question were Frank Moss, George Male, Eddie Hapgood, Wilf Copping, Ray Bowden, Ted Drake and Cliff Bastin
  111. ^ 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.
  112. ^ Manchester United's total remains over 100 ahead of second-placed Liverpool as England games continue, although they have only used two more players (61 as of November 2011). This can be attributed to the 106 caps won by Bobby Charlton and the 85 attained by Gary Neville, whereas only Steven Gerrard has won a similar number of caps while playing for Liverpool. Charlie Roberts made the first England appearance by a Manchester United player in 1905, and the 1073rd was made by Phil Jones on 29 February 2012. The total does not include 2 England appearances by Kieran Richardson in 2005 while on loan at West Bromwich Albion, one appearance by Ben Foster in 2007 while on loan at Watford or one appearance by Danny Welbeck in 2011 while on loan at Sunderland.
  113. ^ Tottenham Hotspur's total is only a handful of goals ahead of second-placed Manchester United as England games continue. Two of England's three most prolific goalscorers, Jimmy Greaves and Gary Lineker, scored a sizeable number of their England goals while Tottenham players. Vivian Woodward scored the first England goal by a Tottenham Hotspur player in 1903, and the 190th was scored by Peter Crouch on 17 November 2010.
  114. ^ 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.
  115. ^ Of these five players, only David Beckham missed his kicks in competitive internationals - a European Championship qualifier and a group match at a European Championship finals. 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. This statistic does not include misses in penalty shoot-outs, as they do not go on a player's overall record. For that, Beckham and Lampard have also missed a kick in a shoot-out, though no player has ever missed in more than one shoot-out. In total, England have missed ten shoot-out penalties, taken by ten different players. These have been, in sequence, Stuart Pearce, Chris Waddle (1990), Gareth Southgate (1996), Paul Ince, David Batty (1998), David Beckham, Darius Vassell (2004), Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard, Jamie Carragher (2006).
  116. ^ Dick Pym, a goalkeeper, played in three England internationals from 1925 to 1926.
  117. ^ Duncan Edwards died as a result of injuries sustained in the Munich Air Disaster in February 1958.
  118. ^ Shaun Wright-Phillips remains an active international, and this record may extend as a consequence.
  119. ^ David James now plays for another club and remains an active international, and therefore could claim this record outright as a consequence.
  120. ^ Scott Parker played for his fifth club, Tottenham Hotspur, in only his seventh international appearance. Uniquely, his first four appearances were with four different clubs.
  121. ^ Joe Mercer was appointed on a temporary basis between the dismissal of Alf Ramsey and the appointment of Don Revie.
  122. ^ Peter Taylor was appointed on a temporary basis between the resignation of Kevin Keegan and the appointment of Sven-Göran Eriksson.
  123. ^ Stuart Pearce was appointed on a temporary basis after the resignation of Fabio Capello.
