i wouldn't want a return of those shorts though !


its easy to look back though. We don't know yet, but Terry, Rooney, Robinson could go on to become 'greats' and then it doesn't look so unhealthy in hindsight.

Was that the world cup when Wright was introduced as a sweeper halfway through ? That squad had been absolutely panned in the media the previous two years, and that was before the focus there is now on football.

It was. Everyone from the midfield to the attack had the skill and ability to turn a game in an instant. How many in the team now can do that?...
