NOW TRY Quiz! Can you name every player in the final England Euro 2020 squad?

The England team used to be picked by a committee. Judging by some of the vitriol directed to a certain Mr Southgate in months and years gone by, maybe it wasn't such a bad idea.

The England manager carries the hope of a nation upon his sometimes waistcoat-covered shoulders. He's responsible not just for picking the team but motivating it. And it's an almost impossible job.

It's a role that comes with scrutiny like no other. And unless you win the World Cup you've basically failed. No pressure. 

18 men, therefore, probably felt like they didn't succeed in this role. Can you remember who they all were?
