greenwood included him in the squad for the european championship finals in italy as an experienced reserve, but hughes ultimately did not play and england were eliminated in the group stages. hughes was england's only connection with their previous foray into the finals of a tournament – the 1970 world cup – but his non-participation in either made him england's most capped player never to feature in a major finals. he also became only the fifth player to represent england in three separate decades, joining jesse pennington, stanley matthews, bobby charlton and peter shilton. the 57 caps hughes earned in the 1970s make him the most capped england player of that decade.
