The former Three Lions striker turned TV presenter says the current squad have done the nation proud on and off the pitch

Gary Lineker has urged the England players to “treasure and enjoy" Sunday’s Euro 2020 final against Italy - but believes it is just the beginning and success will soon come even if they are beaten at Wembley.

Gareth Southgate’s side are preparing for their first major tournament final in 55 years, something not even Lineker achieved during his time as a Three Lions player.

The former Tottenham, Everton and Barcelona forward also praised the players for the showing a "shining social conscience" off the field which represents the "very best" of England.
