Correct at 10 June 2006, for up-to-date information visit the England Archive		 There are few more imposing players in international football than Sol, capped initially in one of England’s warm-up matches prior to Euro 96. He is now a mainstay in central defence and a reassuring presence for team-mates and fans alike.

His headed goal in the opening match of the 2002 World Cup Finals against Sweden was his first for England, and he formed one of the tournament’s most effective defensive partnerships with Rio Ferdinand. At Euro 2004 Sol was again a commanding presence and was named in the official Euro 2004 All-Star squad by the UEFA technical group.

The Arsenal centre-back was the first England player to be named in five consecutive major international tournament squads.
