Is that meant to be a compliment to Guppy?
You might notice that I didn't include the right sided version of Beckham in my side above, although I might have if I'd gone 4-4-2.
I remember Guppy being described the answer to our left sided problems, presumably as he was the only person in England playing at that time who actually could kick a ball with his left foot.
I'm not sure our left sided problem has ever truly been resolved - Ashley Young always seems to cut in onto his right foot.
Mind you, I couldn’t hit a cows arse with a cricket bat for accuracy, and my speed would be described as glacial.
It's surprising that no one has mention Hoddle, wasn't he an outstandingly gifted passer of the ball, the kind of midfielder England are crying out for these days, perhaps he would have suited the modern game better.
And a left-field suggestion - Rob Jones was a superb right back who's international career was cut short by injury.
Jones was a good player. Did think about him before going for Neville. With a back 3 and wingbacks, I'd probably take Trippier from the current squad though.
Regarding Hoddle, he was incredibly gifted but he wasn't the most industrious. Gifted as he was though, I don't think he was as gifted as Gascoigne.
Interesting that most people (including me) left out Rooney. I think we are all remembering the overweight, unfit Rooney of the last 2 or 3 years.
