    England’s World Cup dream is in ruins. It’s the end of the golden generation.

    And what comes next is even worse…

    Frazzled England gaffer Roy Hodgson throws on Ricky Lambert in a desperate bid to break the deadlock against 10 man Honduras.


    The match finishes 0-0, and England’s darkest decade rolls on.

    This is the story of England: the banter years…
