Roy Hodgson revealed he will be an extremely proud man today as he leads England for the first time in front of the home fans at Wembley Stadium. Hodgson conceded that why last week in Oslo was special; playing in front of 90,000 fans on the weekend of the Queen’s diamond jubilee makes it an even bigger occasion. It will give the nation the chance to see England’s likely starting XI ahead of the Euros that kicks off in a little over a week.
