The side in the 90's was so good it failed to win a game at Euro 92 and didn't even make the 1994 World Cup.

Tbf I was at the England - Colombia game in 98 and he scored a cracker in that game.

Sinclair did well in the Argentina game in fairness.

Loved his celebration

Huddle gave Becks a %@#$&!ing in front of the other players for having the nerve to take a free kick: "who do you think you are, taking free kicks? You're not Emille Heskey you know"
