HISTORY Substitutions during English League matches were first permitted in the 1965-66 season. During the first two seasons after the law was introduced, each side was permitted only one substitution during a game. Moreover the substitute could only replace an injured player. From the 1967-68 season, this rule was relaxed to allow substitutions for tactical reasons. On August 21 1965 , Keith Peacock of Charlton Athletic became the first substitute used in the Football League when he replaced injured Goalkeeper Mike Rose eleven minutes into their away match against Bolton Wanderers . In recent years, the number of substitutes permitted in Football League matches has gradually increased, and at present each team is permitted to name five substitutes, of which a maximum of three may be used.
