Quiz: How well you remember Roy Hodgson’s first England XI?

As Sam Allardyce gets his England tenure underway against Slovakia, his predecessor’s first game in charge feels like a distant memory.

Roy Hodgson’s first game as England boss might have been just four-and-a-bit years ago, but that 1-0 victory over Norway doesn’t seem nearly that recent.

Part of that can probably be put down to the wholesale changes we’ve seen throughout Hodgson’s tenure alone.

But how well do you remember his first line-up?

You’ve got three minutes to name the starting XI that took to the field in Oslo, and it’s tougher than it seems.
