England caps

After Peter Crouch's 20 second "starring" role the other night I assume that he will RECEIVE another cap.If not when did the giving of actual caps stop?

ps I couldn't get the football section to accept this question!!!!!

At first the actual caps (as in headgear) were awarded for every international appearance, and today caps are still given for each stand-alone friendly match. But only a single cap is awarded for each tournament in which a player takes part. Thus a player receives only one cap no matter how many qualifying or final tournament matches he plays in a single World Cup or European Championship competition and for which a 'cap' is recorded for 'an appearance for a side'.
