EXCLUSIVE: Euro 96 hero David Seaman admits he never thought Gareth Southgate would become a coach - and gives his verdict on England's goalkeeping dilemma... and how Arsenal can shake off their slump

David Seaman is adamant that something special awaits England this summer. It will be difficult for them to match the ecstasy and agony of Euro 96, of course, but all the signs are pointing towards a strong run at this year's tournament.

His playing days are over, but the deep-rooted passion for the Three Lions remains. An excitement over what could be for Gareth Southgate's talented current crop is clear during his chat with Sportsmail, which comes just four days before England open their campaign against Croatia.

Seaman famously reached the semi-finals on home soil - being the hero in the quarter-final shootout against Spain - although the nation's hopes came crashing down with one fateful penalty miss from Gareth Southgate.
