The European Under-21 Championships begin on Sunday and while England have high hopes of lifting the trophy, the 12-team tournament will be fiercely contested and features a host of players with full international experience.
Moise Kean of Italy and Juventus is one such star while England supporters of a certain vintage may be feeling their age when watching the Three Lions come up against famous names like Thuram (Marcus, son of Lilian) for France and Hagi (Ianis, son of Gheorghe) for Romania in Group C.
Croatia make up the group but England will travel in confidence after a lengthy build-up at St George's Park, with a number of their Under-20 World Cup squad making the trip and after winning eight and drawing two of their ten qualifying games.
They meet France on Tuesday evening in Cesena with live coverage on Sky Sports.
