VIDEO: England 2-1 Scotland
Kenny Swain's Young Lions win the Victory Shield outright with a thrilling win over Scotland at Glanford Park.
Manchester United midfielder Oliver Norwood can't wait for the first of his dream Wembley double header on Saturday, as he prepares to pull on the England shirt at the new stadium against Spain.
Oliver, a keen United follower, hopes to be back at Wembley in May as a supporter of theRed Devils when they line up against Chelsea in The FA Cup Final - and his enthusiasm is immense at the prospect of both games.
"I just can't wait, it's going to be a fantastic experience for all the lads," Oliver told TheFA.com.
"Playing for England is always a massive honour, but having the opportunity to do it at Wembley is something that I'm so excited about. The pitch, the tunnel, all the build up - there will be so much to take in on the day.
"It will be my first time at Wembley, I never got to see the old stadium but I remember so many United games there and it's a very special place for English football. I'm hoping to be at Wembley to see United in the Final in May, I feel so fortunate just to be part of these occasions."
Looking back on the season so far, Oliver is confident that the players have learn't from all their experiences and will go into their match with Spain with confidence.
"This season has gone well for us, we played some good football in the Victory Shield and retained the trophy which was pleasing. In the Montaigu Tournament we were really professional and hard working, and I was really pleased with how we played.
"It's a case of putting in the effort and getting the rewards really, we showed in Montaigu what we can do when we focus and stick together as a team. The spirit is there and I'm sure we'll do well at Wembley, it'll be an inspiration.
"My family and friends are coming down to watch me, I think some of them are more excited than me just to see Wembley and watch a game there."
