Five memorable encounters between England and Wales

England and Wales have been drawn together at next summer's European Championships in what could prove the defining fixture of either team's tournament.

They join Russia and Slovakia in Group B.

We recall five other memorable encounters between them:

  • England 2-0 Wales, Old Trafford, October 2004:

Following England's disappointing start to their World Cup 2006 qualification campaign, Sven-Goran Eriksson's team required an impressive performance to relieve some of the pressure that had been built by such high expectations.

Captain David Beckham was similarly under scrutiny, having recently disappointed throughout Euro 2004, as was Rio Ferdinand, who had been recalled following an eight-month ban for missing a drugs test.

England scored with their first attack, before Beckham secured a victory by curling into the top-right corner, from midfield, 12 minutes from time.

  • Wales 0-2 England, Millenium Stadium, March 2011:

England were still attempting to put their disappointing 2010 World Cup campaign behind them, while the late Gary Speed was overseeing his first qualifier since his appointment as Wales manager.

Expectations were far from high by either teams' standards, but England manager Fabio Capello selected an overhauled team in a new 4-3-3 formation.

Two goals inside the opening 14 minutes from Frank Lampard and Darren Bent secured a deserved victory.

  • Wales 1-0 England, Racecourse Ground, May 1984:

Wales' last victory over England came in the final fixture between the two nations at a Home Nations Championship.

Striker Mark Hughes, making his Wales debut, scored the game's only goal after to secure what was Wales' third win over their rivals in seven years.

  • Wales 4-1 England, Racecourse Ground, May 1980:

Ron Greenwood's England were ultimately humiliated in what was perhaps Wales' most convincing result against their rivals.

Paul Mariner gave England the lead, but thereafter Wales were dominant, and secured victory.

  • England 5-1 Wales, Wembley Stadium, November 1966:

This particular fixture represented both a qualifier for the 1968 European Championships and a Home International.

World champions England set a national record by naming an unchanged team for the sixth consecutive match.

Two goals from Geoff Hurst gave England a 2-0 lead, before Wyn Davies responded for Wales.

Bobby Charlton restored their two-goal advantage before Terry Hennessey's own goal, and a fifth goal from Jack Charlton secured a a 5-1 victory.
