Part two of our World Cup 1998 qualification deep dive sees Hoddle's Lions travel to Rome, where they would face the daunting prospect of having to secure a draw - at least - away to Italy.

England had reason to be confident, however, having secured a key victory over the Azzurri in Le Tournoi just a few months previous (yes, it counts!)

Gascoigne was brought back into the fold after the Matt Le Tissier experiment didn't quite work out, while Hoddle had to make do without key man and captain, Alan Shearer.

This is a night that's so good, someone should write a song about it...
