England manager Southgate was a 25-year-old player when he stepped up for the spot-kick that was saved by Andreas Kopke during Germany's shoot-out win in the Euro 96 semi-finals at Wembley. With Germany set to face England at Wembley in the last 16 of the European Championship on Tuesday, Southgate's perseverance has presented him with a chance for redemption. And England midfielder Henderson believes the example set by his manager is one the players should draw from ahead of the blockbuster clash.

But Henderson insists the past won't be on his mind when England renew the ancient rivalry next week.
