The BBC and ITV will be sharing the coverage of Euro 2016, and on Monday the Beeb were proud to announce their star-studded team of presenters and pundits for the prestigious competition.

Regulars Gary Lineker, Gaby Logan and Alan Shearer will be joined by a veritable smorgasbord of expert analysers including big name recruits Rio Ferdinand and Thierry Henry.

They also boast (deep breath): Frank Lampard, Jurgen Klinsmann, Gianluca Vialli, Jens Lehmann, Robbie Savage, Neil Lennon, Martin Keown, Kevin Kilbane, Chris Waddle, John Hartson, Danny Murphy, Jermaine Jenas and Danny Mills.
