As part of their qualifying group for the 1972 European Championships, Alf Ramsey's team won 1-0 at the Empire Stadium in Gzira in February 1971, Martin Peters scoring the only goal of the game.

It was to the Ta' Qali Stadium that Kevin Keegan took his side in June 2000 for their final warm-up ahead of Euro 2000.

Current manager Gareth Southgate came on as a substitute in the match which was won 2-1 thanks to strikes from Martin Keown and a first international goal from Emile Heskey.

Amidst a disappointing display from England, Keegan told the BBC that he was pleased with Nick Barmby's performance.

"He was tidy, never gave the ball away. He stayed on for 90 minutes and it was tough work out there."
