England manager Gareth Southgate has been awarded an OBE (Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire) in the New Year Honours list for 2019 while Three Lions captain Harry Kane has received an MBE (Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire).
Southgate receives the honour after a memorable year for the Three Lions which saw them reach the World Cup semi-finals, their best performance at the tournament since 1990.
England also topped their group in November to qualify for the inaugural Nations League finals in Portugal next summer.
