Where are Euro 96 stars now?

With Gareth Southgate’s appointment as the new full-time England manager confirmed, we see how his former Euro 96 teammates are doing…

David Seaman 

Named in the team of the tournament, Seaman went on to hold his position as England’s No 1 until 2002.

Awarded an MBE in 1997 for services to the sport, the Arsenal keeper retired seven years later with a recurring shoulder injury.

He gained 75 senior international caps and played every minute of England’s Euro 96 campaign. 

Seaman’s final England game was a Euro 2004 Qualifier against Macedonia in October 2002, before Sven-Goran Eriksson replaced him with David James.

Since hanging up his boots, Seaman has featured in two dancing shows – Strictly Ice Dancing in December 2004 and ITV’s Dancing on Ice in January 2006. The 53-year-old finished the latter in fourth place and went on to marry dance partner Frankie Poultney in February 2015.

In June 2012, Seaman joined Combined Counties League club Wembley as goalkeeping coach for their 2012/13 FA Cup campaign, as part of a documentary following the team’s attempt to play at Wembley Stadium.

Gary Neville

After retiring in 2011, Neville moved into punditry, becoming a commentator for Sky Sports before taking over as head coach at Valencia.

Neville spent almost four months as Valencia boss before returning to broadcasting after losing his job with the Spanish side in March 2016.

The former right-back, who made 85 international appearances, served as England assistant manager from May 2012 before leaving the post after the team’s Euro 2016 exit.

Neville co-owns National League North side Salford City and received an honorary doctorate from the University of Salford in 2014.

Stuart Pearce 

Another MBE, Pearce made 78 appearances and scored five goals for England between 1987 and 1999.

The defender ended his career at Manchester City and he became manager from 2005-07.

After leaving his post at City, Pearce became England Under-21s boss for six years and also managed the Great Britain Olympic football team at London 2012. 

His most recent managerial post was at Nottingham Forest, whom he led to an unbeaten start to the season with 13 points from 15 after taking over in July 2014.

However, the Reds quickly lost form and Pearce was sacked in February 2015, by which time Forest had dropped to 12th in the Championship.

Paul Ince

After retiring in 2007, Ince entered management as boss of Macclesfield Town. He spent two spells as manager of MK Dons before and an unsuccessful six months at Blackburn Rovers before taking over at Notts County in 2010, signing a three-year deal.

On 3 April 2011, he left the club by mutual consent after losing a club-record nine games in a row.

Ince returned to management in February 2013 as Blackpool head coach on a one-year rolling contract. He left the club – for whom his son Tom played – less than a year later to become the Seasiders’ fourth-shortest serving manager having been in charge for just 40 league games. 

Tony Adams

Former Arsenal defender Adams made 504 appearances for the Gunners and 66 for England, scoring 32 goals for club and five for country.

Adams retired in 2000 before entering management with spells at Wycombe, Portsmouth and then Azerbaijan side Gabala FC.

In the same year he retired, Adams founded the Sporting Chance Clinic to help provide treatment, counselling and support for sports men and women after battling his own alcoholism and drug addiction.

David Platt

Midfielder Platt retired shortly after Euro 96 before accepting a management role at Sampdoria.

Platt managed England Under-21s from 2001-2004 and most recently took charge of Pune City in the Indian Super League for a season.

On 1 July 2010, Platt was hired as …
