My one night with the wonderful Bobby Robson as a co-commentator and I could hardly get him to say a single word! 😂❤️
Today marks 22 years since England were beating France 1-0 going into stoppage time, but still lost 2-1. Here are both of Zinedine Zidane’s goals from that night, in real time. One of the most extraordinary endings to a match ever seen at the Euros.

#OnThisDay #England played Denmark in their opening game of Euro '92. The goalless draw is most notable for being the first time the England players wore shirts with their names on the back.

Mexico 86 After losing to Portugal 1-0, England are staring elimination in the face after a 0-0 draw with Morocco. Time for Brian Moore to see what the experts think. Keegan, Ian St. John and Channon give their thoughts.

#OnThisDay in 1977 #England faced Brazil in a friendly at the Maracanã but forgot to take their socks and had to borrow blue ones from their hosts. England manager Don Revie missed the game. He was in Dubai negotiating a deal to take charge of the United Arab Emirates.
