England are no strangers to facing Switzerland at a European Championship, having twice met them in the group stage.

The 3-0 win in 2004 is best remembered for a superb performance from Wayne Rooney, who scored his first two goals at a major tournament.

The teenage sensation got off the mark with a header from Michael Owen's cross, briefly making him the youngest goalscorer in Euros history.

Eight years earlier, England had started their much-anticipated Euro 1996 campaign with an underwhelming 1-1 draw against Switzerland at Wembley.

The Three Lions improved considerably to reach the semi-finals after that inauspicious result, but do you remember the team Terry Venables chose to open the tournament?
