| Additional information |
Issued to mark the 2006 FIFA World Cup, though England's tournament ended in a quarter-final penalty shootout loss to Portugal — a result that made any celebratory tone feel somewhat premature. Wembley itself was not even open yet; the new stadium, which had been under construction since 2002 after the demolition of the original Twin Towers ground, did not officially open until March 2007. Jersey had no footballing stake in any of it.
