International Football: Turkey v England

on BBC Two England

European Championships: Group 4
Introduced by Jimmy Hill with Trevor Brooking

On their first appearance in Izmir, England meet Turkey and kick off as European Championship Group 4 leaders with 100 per cent record from three games.

England's two previous matches with Turkey produced an avalanche of goals - 13 without reply in the qualifying round of the last World Cup.

The score was 8-0 in Istanbul in November 1984 (to which captain Bryan Robson contributed a hat-trick) and 5-0 (Gary Lineker's turn to score three) in the return fixture at Wembley.

But Bobby Robson will have warned his men that Turkey are much improved, having seen them beat East Germany 3-1 recently.
