Jermain Defoe has been handed a surprise call-up by England manager Gareth Southgate.
Defoe, who is 34, was named in Southgate's 26-man squad on Thursday ahead of England's matches against Germany and Lithuania next week.
Here, Press Association Sport takes a look at the five oldest outfield players to represent England since they won the World Cup in 1966.
Stuart Pearce 37, v Poland, September 1999
Kevin Keegan picked Pearce in defence as England were held to a goalless draw against Poland in qualifying for Euro 2000. Pearce had been left out of the 1998 World Cup squad by Glenn Hoddle but his form for West Ham persuaded Keegan he was worthy of a recall. Injury forced Pearce finally to retire later that year.
Teddy Sheringham 36, v Brazil, June 2002
Sheringham made his first international appearance at the relatively late age of 27 and then his last nine years later as England were beaten 2-1 by Brazil in the World Cup quarter-finals. Sven-Goran Eriksson threw him on off the bench as England chased an equaliser in Japan but to no avail and Sheringham would never play for his country again.
Frank Lampard 36, v Costa Rica, June 2014
Roy Hodgson named Lampard as vice-captain in his World Cup squad but he only played in England's final group game, a dead rubber and 0-0 draw against Costa Rica. Lampard's inclusion had been more for his experience and leadership than form and he announced his international retirement soon after the end of the tournament.
Martin Keown 35, v Cameroon, May 2002
Keown was a peripheral member of Eriksson's plans but he was still taken to the 2002 World Cup. The defender's last match came in the build-up to the tournament as England were held to a 2-2 draw against Cameroon. Keown came on for Rio Ferdinand in the second half and played alongside Southgate. He retired from international football after the World Cup.
Dave Watson 35, v Iceland, June 1982
Watson was another late starter after being handed his debut at 27 in what would be Sir Alf Ramsey's final game in charge. His last appearance came in a friendly as England drew 1-1 against Iceland, with Ron Greenwood deciding against taking the defender to the 1982 World Cup. Watson remains the most-capped England player, with 65 appearances, never to play at a World Cup finals.
