ON THIS DAY

Just four days after the shock of the Brexit vote which saw our country decide to leave Europe and its 'manager' (David Cameron) resign the England football team decided to do exactly the same! Despite taking a 4th minute lead through a Wayne Rooney penalty England were beaten 2-1 by mighty Iceland in a Euro last 16 tie with manager Roy Hodgson resigning soon after the final whistle. One of England's most embarrassing defeats but the really sad thing was you just know it was going to happen! Still, we kept smiling...

A penalty shoot-out certainly wasn't needed to see the end of England's hopes at the 2010 World Cup finals in South Africa. England were well beaten 4-1 by Germany in the World Cup quarter-finals at the Free State Stadium in Bloemfontein. Mind you, if Frank Lampard’s well-over-the-line ‘goal’ been allowed the result would doubtless have gone in England’s favour!

Howard Kendall took over as Everton manager for third time. It was his least successful spell and he left a year later after Everton had escaped relegation from the Premier League only on goal difference.

France beat Spain 2-0 in the Euro 84 final in Paris. Michel Platini scored one of the goals, his ninth in his five matches to finish as leading scorer in the tournament.
