I think he joined afterward but I'm pretty sure that Didier Six was part of the French Euro Championship winning squad. One of the best debuts ever, it was all pretty much downhill after that mind.

In the squad and played in most games but not the final.  Bit of a Jimmy Greaves experience in '66 I guess.

Yes, about 40 years before, judging by his performances.

Gareth Southgate played every minute of that bullshit Tournoi de France for England in 1997. That one where Roberto Carlos scored that ridiculous free kick that scared the shit out of that ballboy.

I was at the final game, a 1-0 defeat to Brazil at the Parc des Princes. The trophy was presented after the game so I have seen England lift a trophy.
