It will be the 28th meeting between the countries and the first since a 1-1 draw in a friendly three years ago in London.After losing the first competitive fixture in Rome the previous year, England got the better of Italy at Wembley with goals from Kevin Keegan and Trevor Brooking.

Images of Paul Ince, England's blood-stained and bandaged captain, celebrating with supporters at full-time remain iconic.A turbulent build-up to the finals led to Roy Hodgson being parachuted in as the replacement for Fabio Capello.
