Germany v England videos!
BBC Sport Online gave you the opportunity to re-live one of the most memorable matches of recent times.

England's 5-1 victory over Germany in Munich was the most thrilling display from the national team since the 1966 World Cup final.

Sven Goran Eriksson's side knew they had to beat the Germans on their own soil to keep their dreams of reaching the 2002 finals alive.

But nobody could have predicted the drama that unfolded in the Olympic Stadium.

England trailed 1-0 early on before the Liverpool trio Michael Owen (hat-trick), Steven Gerrard and Emile Heskey smashed five goals past their stunned opponents.


It was amazing. A few of the players have seen the match three or four times on video. I've also watched it three or four times and it gets better each time. It's mind blowing
David Beckham

Germany were left dazed while England were hailed across the world for their dazzling display.

England's 35 years of hurt was over after a game which will be talked about and re-lived for many years to come.

This is the video that even the players can't stop watching, and we had 25 copies of this fantastic video, produced by Lace International, to give away.

All you had to do was answer this simple question:-

Which ground is playing host to England's final World Cup qualifier against Greece?

We had thousands of correct entries who told us it is being played at Old Trafford.

Winners will be contacted directly via email by Wednesday 26 September.

If you aren't one of the lucky winners they are available in the shops now £14.99.
