[edit] Notes

^ Owen Hargreaves remains an active England international, and this record may extend as a consequence.
^ Aaron Lennon remains an active England international, and this record may change as a consequence.
^ Peter Ward featured as a substitute in this game against Australia, introduced in the 85th minute. The game ended six minutes later, and Ward was not recalled.
^ 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.
^ Bobby Charlton was also in the squad for the 1958 World Cup but did not make an appearance.
^ Billy Wright made 105 appearances for England, but all prior to the founding of the European Championships.
^ 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.
^ 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.
^ 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 career.
^ Tony Adams holds this record exclusively.
^ Bobby Charlton made 106 and Jack Charlton 35 of their collective 141 appearances, and they featured in the same team 28 times.
^ Gary and Philip Neville remain active England internationals, and this record may extend as a consequence. Gary Neville has made 84 and Philip Neville 54 of their collective 138 appearances thus far.
^ Only Owen Hargreaves has since matched this achievement. Baker eventually played for an English club only after his international career had begun.
^ 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.
^ Luke Young remains an active international, and this record may extend as a consequence.
^ Frank Lampard remains an active international, and this record may extend as a consequence.
^ 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.
^ Leyton Orient was known as Clapton Orient during the period when their two players were capped by England.
^ 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.
^ These are all of the non-English clubs which have supplied England international players.
^ Owen Hargreaves is also England's most capped player with one single non-English club. He remains an active international, and these records may extend as a consequence.
^ David Platt's caps tally with Bari and Juventus makes him the only player to hold an appearances record for England with two different non-English clubs.
^ 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.
^ 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.
^ This game ended in defeat for England after a penalty shoot-out.
^ 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.
^ Dietmar Hamann was the last player to score at Wembley when Germany defeated England 1-0 later in 2000.
^ 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.
^ Trevor Cherry was the first and remains the only player to be sent off in a friendly international.
^ Ray Wilkins was the first player to be sent off in the World Cup finals.
^ Paul Ince's red card meant that players had been sent off in two consecutive England internationals for the first time.
^ Paul Scholes was the first and only England player to be sent off at the former Wembley stadium.
^ With this red card, David Beckham became the first player to be sent off twice while playing for England.
^ This goal also made Luther Blissett the first black player to score in a competitive international, and in the same game he would become the first black player to score a hat-trick.
^ Four years earlier, Viv Anderson travelled to the 1982 World Cup as the only black player in the squad, but did not play. He also went to the 1986 tournament and, again, was not selected.
^ This was Sol Campbell's only England goal.
^ It is possible that this record will eventually be set. The only black player to find the net in the European Championship finals was Ashley Cole at the 2004 competition against Portugal, but this was in a penalty shoot-out and does not count as a goal on the record of a player or team.
^ Paul Ince was awarded the captaincy on a temporary basis due to the absence of regular skipper David Platt.
^ David James remains England's only black goalkeeper.
^ Dick Pym, a goalkeeper, played in three England internationals from 1925 to 1926.
^ 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.
