An amazing last-gasp free-kick from England captain David Beckham secures World Cup Qualification. |
The FA can confirm that Steve McClaren's first match as England Head Coach will be against Greece at Old Trafford on August 16.
The kick-off has yet to be confirmed but the game will obviously be a fantastic occasion for Steve as he takes charge of his very first International match.
Steve was part of the coaching staff for England in 2001 when they achieved the incredible last gasp draw with Greece at Old Trafford - the result that clinched their place at the 2002 World Cup.
