Can you name the England team from their 2-2 draw with Greece in 2001?

Can you name the England team from their 2-2 draw with Greece in 2001?

Lee Carsley's penultimate match as England interim head coach takes him to the marvellous city of Athens on Thursday, when Greece can officially end the Three Lions hopes of being automatically promoted straight back to League A of the UEFA Nations League.

Carsley - who will step aside for Thomas Tuchel in 2025 - has overseen three wins from his first four matches in League B Group 2, the one aberration being a humbling Wembley defeat to the Greeks during October's international break.

That 2-1 loss coupled with another three victories for a perfect Greece side leaves the 2004 European champions three points clear of England at the summit, although the Three Lions have history when it comes to heroics against the Pirate Ship.

Flash back to 2001, where England were on the cusp of defeat to Greece in World Cup qualifying, only for David Beckham to bend it in his traditional manner; the Manchester United icon's free kick rescued a 2-2 draw for the Three Lions, ensuring that they would directly qualify for the tournament over Germany.

Ahead of Thursday's reunion, Sports Mole challenges you to name the England lineup from that four-goal thriller at the Theatre of Dreams.
