Former England defender Stuart Pearce turns 58 on Friday.
Here, the PA news agency looks at the best left-backs to play for the Three Lions.
Ashley Cole (2001-2014)
A member of Arsenal’s Invincibles, he played at the 2002, 2006 and 2010 World Cups, as well as Euro 2004 and Euro 2012.
Stuart Pearce (1987-1999)
His gutsy penalty – and eye-bulging celebration – in the Euro 96 shoot-out win over Spain exorcised his demons.
Kenny Sansom (1979-1988)

He is 12th on England’s all-time appearance list having won 86 caps, scoring once.
Former Arsenal and Crystal Palace left-back Sansom played at the 1980 and 1988 European Championships while also appearing in the 1982 and 1986 World Cups.
Ray Wilson (1960-1968)
He also played at the 1962 World Cup, helping the Three Lions to the quarter-finals, and the 1968 European Championships.
Ben Chilwell (2018-present)
2018 has been an emotional year. Really proud to have made my senior England debut and to have signed a new contract at Leicester City. Sadly, we lost a great man. We will make you proud boss. Onwards and upwards and here’s to a great 2019. Happy New Year! ❤️ pic.twitter.com/0WVvmKG8MQ

The current holder of the shirt, Leicester’s Chilwell is still a rookie compared to the others but has begun to nail down the position.
The highly-rated 23-year-old only made his senior debut in 2018 and has 11 caps but has the potential to emulate the greats.
