England's Danish record

The most recent meeting was in an Old Trafford friendly in November 2003 which the Danes won 3-2. A crowd of 64,000 saw Wayne Rooney and Joe Cole score England’s goals.

The most recent competitive fixture, a World Cup Finals match in Niigata in 2002, finished 3-0 in England’s favour. Rio Ferdinand, Michael Owen and Emile Heskey were on target for Sven’s side.

The series of matches with the Danes began with a 0-0 draw in Copenhagen in 1948. Players like Stanley Matthews, Tommy Lawton and Billy Wright wore the three lions in that international.

There were two World Cup qualifiers in the 1950s (5-2 and 4-1 to England) and four European Championship qualifiers from 1978 to 1983.

In the last of those a 0-1 Wembley defeat ultimately cost us our place in the 1984 Finals.
