England's 1,000th game: Five previous landmark matches for the Three Lions

David Beckham saw red in England's 750th international match, a World Cup defeat to Argentina.

England men's team play their 1,000th senior international on Thursday, when they take on Montenegro at Wembley.

Here, the PA news agency looks back at some landmark games among the first 999.

A goalless draw at Hamilton Crescent in Partick was a low-key way to mark the first-ever international match. Scotland provided the opposition for England's first seven games, with the first goals arriving in a 4-2 win at Kennington Oval the following year.

George Holley and Bert Freeman scored the goals as England marked their century with victory at the City Ground in Nottingham in the British Home Championship, in front of 11,500 spectators.

What more fitting way for England to mark a milestone than by going out of the World Cup on penalties? Paul Ince and David Batty were denied by Carlos Roa after a match memorable for Michael Owen's solo wonder-goal and David Beckham's red card.
