Following on from England's FIFA Under-20 World Cup triumph in the summer, the Young Lions claimed victory in the U17 competition, in India.
A squad from which 19 players are at Category One clubs, blooded in the Premier League's Games Programme as well as at The FA's St George's Park, came from two goals down to defeat Spain 5-2 in Kolkata.
Of the 21 players, 14 have been in the Academy system since the Under-9 age category, while another four joined before U11.
Interestingly, more than one third of the players (eight) were born between June and August.
Traditionally, boys born in the final quarter of the school year have found being the youngest in age groups a challenge to progression, something the Premier League has been looking to counter with bio-banding.
Here we profile the squad.
