Aye I’ve just been looking at the squad. Fair to say the 98 world cup side was a lot better, but Anderton still got into that.

was beckham and scholes not about for 96? Thought they made their debuts around 94, was merson having his problems around this time too?

Still around 21 and hadn’t broke into the Man U side as yet. Beckhams wonder goal against Wimbledon was the first game of the 96/97 season

I could be wrong but I think Beckham got picked in Hoddles first squad. That have been later on in 96 as he was already confirmed to take over from Venables before the tournament.

Beckham was nowhere near the Euro 96 squad – only the Neville brothers made it from the whole United team, never mind just the Class of 92 – and spent his summer on holiday in Sardinia, eating pasta every day and bathing in the realisation that he was now a bona fide Manchester United player.
Apart from his misdemeanour I used to love listening to Ron Atkinson commentate, talked a load of shite and he was as mad as a clowns cock But he made me chuckle
His best term was ‘put the reducer on him’.

I remember a the question was “who played every game of the 1998 World Cup qualifying tournament but didn’t play in euro 1996” answer David Beckham
