England Schools' Football Association No.10 shirt circa 1945-46 from the Joe Mercer Collection youth sized, long-sleeved, wartime Controlled Commodity 41 label, red E.S.F.A. Three Lions badge of the period It is uncertain how this shirt ended up in Joe Mercer's collection. A plausible explanation is that when Joe Mercer took a Football Association coaching course in 1945, this may have involved coaching the England schools' national team.
