'Rashford could provide spark for England at Euros'
Former England captain Jimmy Armfield says Marcus Rashford could make a big difference for his country at Euro 2016.
18-year-old Rashford scored after just 138 seconds against Australia, becoming the youngest ever player to score on his England debut.
It reminded Armfield of two players from his era:
"In 1966 we took Alan Ball into the World Cup at 18, and in 1958 Pelé turned out for Brazil (aged 17), and they did alright. I think Rashford is the kind of player that just might give you the spark", he said.
