I think Lineker said he was his favourite strike partner in his career, which speaks volumes.

England's records in qualifiers. 1972-2008 72 DNQ 74 DNQ 76 DNQ 78 DNQ 80 Qualified easily 82 Needed draw last game- Qualified 84 DNQ 86 Qualified easily 88 Needed draw last game- Qualified 90 Needed draw last game- Qualified 92 Needed draw last game- Qualified 94 DNQ 98 Needed draw last game- Qualified 2000 Needed Sweden to beat Poland to get into playoff -Qualified 02 Needed draw last game- Qualified 04 Needed draw last game- Qualified 06 Qualified easily 08 DNQ. 18 qualifying campaigns - 3 times qualified easily. 7 Qualified last game. Once Qualified via help from another country and a playoff. 7 times didn't qualify. Unlike today, qualifying for tournaments was not taken for granted if you followed England. Nice upload as always.

All the shitty former soviet states watered down the standard, plus more teams in tournaments. Qualifying is championship standard nowadays.

72 & 76 euros only four teams qualified, not really a proper final tournament just two semi finals, a final and a 3/4 PO match. 74 WC knocked out by Poland who finished 3rd in the finals. Point is, it was very hard to qualify in those days. The total opposite to these days where qualifying is a formality

5:24-5:36 great demonstration of Hoddle's two-footedness

never realised until now how lucky England got at Wembley against Yugoslavia. But even in those few highlights it shows what a crime it was not to use Hoddle more often

​@jeannotschumacher1024 good footballers just not winners.

Gascoigne should have been in that squad maybe even the team . Newcastle were in a relegation scrap and his sheer brilliance kept them up that year.

Beautiful football. Bobby Robson, a great team builder. He won't mind me saying, this was the Brian Moore era.

24:03 , no live footage of Neil Webb's goal, just replay?

I remember that game against Northern Ireland, it was on my 7th birthday

6:05 is what I see as English style football at its best…

The first corner against N.I. back when teams would mark the posts! no one does that now

England spielte nach der WM-Qualifikation '86 wieder gegen die Türkei. Diesmal weit weg von einem 8:0!

England were uncharacteristically skilful during this period

I've been waiting for this. For the English Team which played the real English football - not the ballet- or BLM-style.

The FA consigned this tournament to the bin like it never happened. One of better England teams evolved out of this for 1990 World Cup.

Why is there only one african player?.

Forgot how rubbish the floodlights were at old Wembley. Not exactly bright

We 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 lost every game in the Euros didn’t we !?lol

Blimey mark wright makes lot of mistakes 😮

Was it ever thus...breeze through qualifying for Euros and World Cups (usually) and then lucky to get out of the group stages when England get there. Not as good as we think we are.

mark wright is at fault for 95% of all goals in every highlight i watch..as a 9 year old i hated him at Liverpool and now looking back i can see why..he was utter shite!!

Why he said that? It was maybe a joke? I liked Lineker, I am Milan AC fan and I remember him in the '80, great striker and he was also an example of sportsmanship and fairness on the field.

Wonder how this team would react to a changed England flag on their shirt..

Always beat the Irish in every way...Masters and servants.
