4BR Euro 2024 quiz winner

Gareth Southgate will have wanted to pick a side like this — but our winner made sure they got the selections right for our Euro 2024 quiz.

Euro24
  The 11 composers had to be matched with their home countries

Thanks to everyone who took the time to enter our little Euro 2024 quiz — with just about everyone getting the 10 composers and their home nations correct — as well as the one conductor who directed at the 1995 Masters.

It was Dave Waterman in New Milton in Hampshire who we picked out of the hat to receive a selection box of CDs which will be on their way to him in time to play during extra time and penalties in a few of the matches to come.

1. Philip Sparke — England

2. Peter Graham — Scotland

3. Ludovic Neurohr — Switzerland

4. Thierry Deleruyelle — France
