New England manager Roy Hodgson needs to beat Norway to keep up with predecessors Bobby Robson Sept 22 1982: Drew 2-2 with Denmark (Copenhagen) Trevor Francis's double gave England a 2-1 lead with 10 minutes remaining in their European Championship qualifier, but Jesper Olsen earned the hosts a deserved point. Robson labelled his side's share of the spoils a "travesty." Graham Taylor Sept 12 1990: Beat Hungary 1-0 (Wembley) Gary Lineker began Taylor's reign in rather happier fashion than he ended it, his winner in a low-key friendly win standing in stark contrast to his substitution in Taylor's last game in charge, against Sweden at Euro 92 while one short of Bobby Charlton's record England goal tally. Terry Venables March 9 1994: Beat Denmark 1-0 (Wembley) Terry Venables took on the Danes with his unconventional "Christmas tree" formation. David Platt scored the only goal as another manager began his reign with victory. Glenn Hoddle Sept 1 1996: Beat Moldova 3-0 (Chisinau) Hoddle's first game in charge was notable chiefly for the debut of future captain and 100-cap stalwart David Beckham as England made a winning start to qualification for the 1998 World Cup with goals from Nick Barmby, Paul Gascoigne and Alan Shearer. Kevin Keegan March 27 1999: Beat Poland 3-1 (Wembley) A Paul Scholes hat-trick got Keegan off to a winning start, following Howard Wilkinson's one-match spell as caretaker. The Manchester United star converted Shearer's knock-down and then Beckham's cross to put the hosts 2-0 up and, although Poland skipper Jerzy Brzeczek pulled a goal back, a second headed goal from the midfielder secured victory. Sven-Goran Eriksson Feb 28 2001: Beat Spain 3-0 (Villa Park) Nick Barmby again popped up to score the first goal of an England manager's reign. Emile Heskey netted one of his seven goals in 62 caps and defender Ugo Ehiogu rounded off the scoring. Steve McClaren Aug 16 2006: Beat Greece 4-0 (Old Trafford) McClaren dropped former captain Beckham from his first squad and began his tenure with a comfortable 4-0 win over the European champions with goals from new captain John Terry, Frank Lampard and Peter Crouch (2). Fabio Capello Feb 6 2008: Beat Switzerland 2-1 (Wembley) England's second foreign coach got off to a winning start with Jermaine Jenas and Shaun Wright-Phillips on target but his cool verdict was "there are obviously things we need to improve on."
