    When did the English football team start to battle under the Cross of St.George instead of the Union flag?

    Question #72948. Asked by author. (Dec 05 06 10:32 AM)

    		It has only recently enjoyed a resurgence in popularity fuelled partly by football-inspired nationalism, but also by the devolution movements in Scotland and Wales asserting a separate identity. Until the mid-90s, it was the Union Flag which was used to support the English football team - even, bizarrely, at games against Scotland where it was literally the flag of both nations. The Football League, despite being part of the national football league system of England alone, has had the Union Flag as part of its symbolism.
