*Pro125 Stanley Matthews is stated in the 2004 Corinthian Yearbook as wearing the 1958 number 11 (left winger) shirt but this is an error by Corinthian as Stanley Matthews had already finished his international career by 1957
The last time he wore the number 11 England shirt was in June 1954 (versus Switzerland)
The England kit that the Matthews figure is wearing with collar & "button down" shirt is in fact the 1954 kit which was later replaced by a collarless "v" necked shirt in November 1957.
Matthews normally wore the number 7 (right winger) when representing England and he played his last game for England in 1957 (versus Denmark) wearing his usual number 7 shirt

*The fact that there are no current England players listed in this team or indeed any players from the "modern era" reflects the fact that our national teams of the last 40 years have won nothing of note since 1966 for which there are many reasons. England has been represented by some very talented and great players during the last 40 years but quite often they were badly managed. Too much money in the game has resulted in a loss of the "will to win". Most of the players that I have included in this "Dream Team" earned no more than perhaps double the average working man's weekly wage and were often paid on performance and achievement with "win bonuses" reflecting a sizeable amount of their pay. Sadly now we have a situation where many of the leading players in our national side earn between 50 & 100 times the average working man's wage and the "need to win" attitude in order to earn a better wage has now very much disappeared!
