With the game against Holland at Wembley just over a week away, we caught up with England stalwarts Bryan Robson and Tony Adams to look back at a classic encounter against the Dutch.
Both Robson and Adams featured in the game at Wembley in March 1988, with Adams scoring at both ends in a 2-2 draw, and we showed them the highlights for a wander down Memory Lane ahead of next Wednesday's 2012 encounter.
The duo also gave their thoughts on next week's game to FATV as England get ready to play their first game of 2012 in front of a home crowd.
"We're playing against good teams, that should stand us in good stead for the Euro Championships," admitted Robson, who was also on Terry Venables' coaching staff for the 4-1 victory against Holland in Euro '96.
"This will be another good game for us because Holland are a very good side - they've shown that when they've played the better teams."
Adams added: "What you will get on the 29th, is that Holland will play the same way as they always do. They're going to play 4-3-3
"They'll have two holding midfielders, they'll have someone on the right. They'll have someone on the left and they'll have a centre-forward - that's the way they play."
