Notes

  1. ^ David Beckham remains an active international, and this total may extend as a consequence.
  2. ^ Owen Hargreaves remains an active England international, and this record may extend as a consequence.
  3. ^ Stephen Warnock featured in this game against Trinidad and Tobago, introduced in the 85th minute. He remains an active player and could lose this record as a consequence.
  4. ^ 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.
  5. ^ 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.
  6. ^ 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.
  7. ^ 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 three World Cup tournaments, but only made appearances at the latter two.
  8. ^ Bobby Charlton was also in the squad for the 1958 World Cup but did not make an appearance.
  9. ^ None of these players played in a World Cup finals match at any other tournament. However, all bar George Eastham all featured at some stage at the European Championship finals. Eastham's international career was over by the time England had qualified for their first tournament in 1968.
  10. ^ 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.
  11. ^ 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.
  12. ^ 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.
  13. ^ Allan Clarke also scored England's goal on his debut.
  14. ^ Gary Neville has only missed one European Championship finals match during his career so far, due to suspension.
  15. ^ 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.
  16. ^ Terry Butcher was an England player during the period when the team qualified for the 1980 and 1988 European Championship finals, but he was not selected for the 1980 squad and missed the 1988 finals with a broken leg.
  17. ^ Billy Wright made 105 appearances for England, but all prior to the founding of the European Championships.
  18. ^ 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.
  19. ^ 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.
  20. ^ 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.
  21. ^ 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.
  22. ^ 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.
  23. ^ 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.
  24. ^ 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.
  25. ^ England did not qualify for the final stages of three tournaments during Mick Channon's five-year international career.
  26. ^ David Seaman's record is based on his 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's. Stanley Matthews spent 23 years as an England player but played no games during the World War II years of 1939 to 1945 inclusive.
  27. ^ Tony Adams holds this record exclusively.
  28. ^ Gary Neville has made 85 and Philip Neville 59 of their collective 144 appearances. Both remain active internationals and they may extend this record as a consequence.
  29. ^ Gary and Philip Neville remain active England internationals, and this record may extend as a consequence.
  30. ^ 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.
  31. ^ 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.
  32. ^ David Nugent was playing for Preston North End in the second tier of English football at the time of this appearance.
  33. ^ 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.
  34. ^ a b c d e f Peter Shilton and Gordon Banks are the only players to hold the record for England appearances with two different English clubs - Derby County and Southampton; Leicester City and Stoke City - outright. Kenny Sansom holds one outright at Arsenal, and one jointly at Crystal Palace.
  35. ^ a b Frank Lampard remains an active international, and this record may extend as a consequence.
  36. ^ Leyton Orient was known as Clapton Orient during the period when their two players were capped by England.
  37. ^ Steven Gerrard remains an active international, and this record may extend as a consequence.
  38. ^ 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 are two different players.
  39. ^ These are all of the non-English clubs which have supplied England international players.
  40. ^ a b c 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.
  41. ^ Owen Hargreaves is also England's most capped player with one single non-English club.
  42. ^ Kevin Keegan's first appearance after joining Hamburg SV was also the first by any player representing a non-British side.
  43. ^ This record does not include 5 caps attained while Beckham was on loan from |L.A. Galaxy to |AC Milan. Beckham remains an active international, and this record may extend as a consequence.
  44. ^ 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.
  45. ^ a b c Still available for selection
  46. ^ 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.
  47. ^ 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.
  48. ^ Of these two players, only Ron Flowers never missed a penalty in his England career, whereas Alan Shearer missed one. Shearer's successful kicks in penalty shoot-outs do not count.
  49. ^ Goals scored in penalty shoot-outs do not count on a player's overall scoring tally.
  50. ^ John Terry remains an active international, and this record may become his outright and extend as a consequence.
  51. ^ 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.
  52. ^ This game ended in defeat for England after a penalty shoot-out.
  53. ^ Gary Neville remains an active England international, and this record may extend or change as a consequence. He has scored two own goals for England, but such goals do not go on a player's record.
  54. ^ The goalscorers were Luther Blissett, Tony Woodcock, Steve Coppell, Glenn Hoddle, Mark Chamberlain, Phil Neal and a Luxembourg player who scored an own goal.
  55. ^ Dietmar Hamann was the last player to score at the old Wembley when Germany defeated England 1-0 later in 2000.
  56. ^ 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.
  57. ^ 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.
  58. ^ Trevor Cherry was the first and remains the only player to be sent off in a friendly international.
  59. ^ Ray Wilkins was the first player to be sent off in the World Cup finals.
  60. ^ Paul Ince's red card meant that players had been sent off in two consecutive England internationals for the first time.
  61. ^ Paul Scholes was the first and only England player to be sent off at the original Wembley Stadium.
  62. ^ David Batty was the first and only England player to be sent off on his final international appearance.
  63. ^ With this red card, David Beckham became the first player to be sent off twice while playing for England.
  64. ^ Robert Green was the first goalkeeper to be sent off while playing for England.
  65. ^ Arthur Brown was Aston Villa's first England player in 1882, and the 69th was James Milner in 2009. No fewer than 20 of Villa's 69 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, the debut of 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.
  66. ^ 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.
  67. ^ The players in question were Frank Moss, George Male, Eddie Hapgood, Wilf Copping, Ray Bowden, Ted Drake and Cliff Bastin
  68. ^ Five Manchester United players started: Gary Neville, David Beckham, Nicky Butt, Paul Scholes and Andrew Cole. Wes Brown (29 min) and Teddy Sheringham (84 minutes) came on as substitutes.
  69. ^ Manchester United's total remains approximately 100 ahead of second-placed Liverpool as England games continue, although they have used two fewer players. This can be attributed to the 106 caps won by Bobby Charlton and the 85 attained so far by Gary Neville, whereas no single Liverpool player has won a similar number of caps. Charlie Roberts made the first England appearance by a Manchester United player in 1905, and the 1020th was made by Michael Carrick on 3 March 2010.
  70. ^ 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 181st was scored by Peter Crouch on 3 March 2010.
  71. ^ Of these three players, only David Beckham missed his kicks in competitive internationals - a European Championship qualifier and a group match at a European Championship finals. Roger Byrne and Francis Lee's kicks were not in tournament or qualifying 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 has 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.
  72. ^ Dick Pym, a goalkeeper, played in three England internationals from 1925 to 1926.
  73. ^ David James remains an active international, and this total may extend as a consequence.
  74. ^ Emile Heskey remains an active international, and this total may extend as a consequence.
  75. ^ Joe Mercer was appointed on a temporary basis between the dismissal of Alf Ramsey and the appointment of Don Revie.
  76. ^ Peter Taylor was appointed on a temporary basis between the resignation of Kevin Keegan and the appointment of Sven-Göran Eriksson.
