Did anyone see Channel 4's Greatest England side ever yesterday?
Apart from Adams (I went for Jack Charlton), it was the side I had guessed a few weeks back...
GK - 1 Gordan Banks
RB - 2 George Cohen
LB - 3 Stuart Pearce
CB - 6 Bobby Moore
CB - 5 Tony Adams
RW - 7 David Beckham
LW - 11 Tom Finney
M - 4 Bobby Charlton
M - 8 Paul Gascoigne
F - 10 Gary Linekar
F - 9 Alan Shearer
Two notes however,
1) Matthews was dropped for being from a slower age of football yet Finney made it. I'm sure this is down to Beckham bias, but I would have had it that way anyway.
2) Alan Shearer was a close call ahead of Jimmy Greaves.
On the whole a decent look at England's player history, and the varied opinion of the guest talkers was interesting.
