Manchester United great Rio Ferdinand has hailed England's young defensive trio John Stones, Michael Keane and Eric Dier.
All three youngsters played 90 minutes of England's 2-0 win over Lithuania in a World Cup qualifier at Wembley Stadium on Sunday, and it was a perfect opportunity for Ferdinand to remind everyone about his prophecy.
Back in 2015, Ferdinand had predicted that all three players, who were then playing for the U21 side, would go on to represent the senior team.
My tweet back in 2015... good to see the 3 lads start for @England today! The next generation..... https://t.co/iaPBuvTZ7B
