Can you name England's under-21 stars of yesteryear?
Friday 22 March 2013 13:40
England's first under-21 match, a goalless draw against Wales at Molineux, took place in 1976.
Since then, hundreds of young hopefuls have featured for the Lion Cubs (a nickname that, mercifully, hasn't caught on), but they haven't all gone on to star at senior level like the Beckhams, Rooneys and Jake Livermores of this world.
We've trawled the photo archives for snaps of England U21 sides down the years - do you recognise all the players? You can even have a stab at the results of all the matches, if you so wish.
