Liverpool and England captain Steven Gerrard delivered a rousing pre-match speech to the U17s before they won the Euros final against Holland.
Gerrard was joined by manager Roy Hodgson as the pair recorded a motivational speech from their Portugal training camp.
Their message was shown to John Peacock's side ahead of kick-off and it had the desire affect as the Three Lions ended their run of penalty heartache to emerge victorious after a 1-1 draw in normal time.
Interestingly, new Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal delivered a similar speech to the Dutch - and finished on the losing side.
