While its stunning design and Sumner's cool factor played a role in crafting the shirt's legend, England's performances in the tournament itself cemented its place in history. Despite being panned by the press before the tournament, a string of encouraging performances saw Bobby Robson's side navigate their way to the semi finals. English football's international reputation was also at a low ebb.
