When Southgate took over the England men's national team in 2016, the Three Lions were at a pretty low ebb, having been knocked out of the European Championships by minnows Iceland. The former defender transformed the team in a short space of time, and in 2018, he led them to the World Cup semi-final.It was ultimately another case of heartbreak, of course, but in the following years, England reached the Euro 2020 final at Wembley, losing to Italy, and were again runners-up, this time Spain, at Euro 2024. Though silverware always eluded Southgate, he and his players lifted the spirits of the whole nation and made England one of the most formidable teams in the world once more.Naturally, then, this story was given the dramatic treatment. "Dear England" was first turned into a stage play, and James Graham has adapted his own work into a television series starring Fiennes and Jodie Whittaker, the latter as psychologist Pippa Grange.Relive the highs and lows of the England journey with this inspiring interpretation.
