England plan celebration of 1 000th international

The Euro 2020 qualifier at Wembley will see England become the first country to reach 1,000 senior men's internationals.

147 years since the first against Scotland, the English Football Association are marking the occasion in a number of ways, including recognising the notable contributions of former internationals while the current crop will wear individual 'legacy numbers' on their shirts.

England manager Gareth Southgate, who represented his country 57 times and has the legacy number 1,071, believes the November 14 qualifier will be an occasion to remember.

"It encapsulates the history and the importance of the team going back right the way through," Southgate said.
