Harry Kane is itching to get to Euro 2016 and show just what this fresh, young and fearless England side are capable of.
It is now 50 years since Bobby Moore lifted the World Cup, with that period punctuated by an overriding feeling of frustration as the Three Lions repeatedly tried and failed to add another major trophy.
Euro 2016 provides the latest opportunity for a group of English players to become immortal and is a tournament Roy Hodgson's men approach with hope, having recently beaten favourites and hosts France as well as world champions Germany.
Tottenham striker Kane watched the last major tournament on a Dubai beach with his girlfriend and in the two years since the early World Cup exit has become one of his country's star men.
The 22-year-old's goal sparked March's memorable 3-2 comeback win in Berlin and he is now eyeing more special memories in France, where the 10-cap striker believes the squad's inexperience will help rather than hinder.
"It's strange, it probably won't sink in until we get out there and it all starts, but it's a great feeling to be part of it,'' Kane said ahead of Sunday's preparation match against Turkey. "The whole team are the same, very excited. Now the [club] season is over, we're itching to get out there, see what it's like and get going.
"A lot of us it's our first major tournament. There's no real fear, we are not scared to play our football. Throughout the whole international year we've been playing well, we've been going out and trying to play good football.
"We've been scoring goals, pressing high. That's what the manager wants us to do and that's what we'll try to do. There's been some disappointments over the years but now we've got a great young side, we're very excited about the tournament and we've got no fear.
"We'll go out, play our football and express ourselves and see where that takes us.''
England's 100 percent record in qualification and some impressive friendly displays have highlighted the potential of this group, many of whom have shone at club level this season.
Kane endured a slow start to the campaign but ended up making a mockery of those suggesting he would prove a one-season wonder, firing 25 league goals on the way to collecting the Golden Boot.
It capped an impressive season at White Hart Lane, even if the way it tapered off left a bitter taste for players and fans.
Spurs failed to catch eventual champions Leicester and were agonisingly pipped to second by arch-rivals Arsenal, having lost at home to Southampton and been humbled 5-1 at already relegated Newcastle.
"The aim at the start of the season was the Champions League,'' Kane said. "If you asked any fan or any player, they'd have said the same.
"Being in the title race so long makes it a bit difficult but, look, we gave it a go. We gave it everything. We fell over the last few weeks but I'd rather give it a go and fall than not have had that chance.
"Yeah, it's disappointing that we didn't finish off strong, but it's a learning curve and we'll be there next season to go again.''
Kane rejects any suggestion that Mauricio Pochettino's intensive workload schedule was part of the reason for their collapse, insisting England's five-strong Spurs contingent have plenty left in the tank.
Instead, the striker echoes his manager's opinion that they need to be stronger mentally -- an attribute shown in spades by champions Leicester.
Claudio Ranieri's men confounded the doubters by powering to the title, superbly coping with the pressure exerted by Spurs that at its peak saw Kane tweet a picture of four lions apparently ready pounce.
The image clearly rankled with England teammate Jamie Vardy given his first social media post after the Foxes wrapped up the title was an image of a leading character from Disney's The Lion King falling to his doom.
"I congratulated him and Danny [Drinkwater] on winning the Premier League but nothing was said about the lions yet, so we will see what happens,'' Kane said with a laugh.
"We're concentrating on England now. It was all banter. I gave him a bit on Instagram so if you give it you've got to take it haven't you? It was just a bit of banter between fellow professionals.''
