VERSUS ITALY AND WELL DONE GARETH

On the 24th March 2007 England Under 21s met their Italian counterparts in the first match at the new Wembley Stadium, in front of a 55,700 crowd. Giampaolo Pazzini scored the first goal after just 29 seconds and went on to score a hat-trick in the 3-3 draw. England’s goals came from David Bentley, Wayne Routledge and Matt Derbyshire.

Today, nearly to the day, I read that our Seniors had gained a valuable win in the 2023 European Championship Qualifier on March 23rd.

Today, England won an important victory over Italy, present European Champions, as Gareth Southgate becomes only the third England manager to clock up 50 wins after Walter Winterbottom and Sir Alf Ramsey. Mind you, there are more games played internationally now than in the past, certainly more competition fixtures also. How many England managers have there been looking after these results?
