It's the best England squad in my lifetime. It's almost identical to the England dream team Bobby Robson picked too of the players who played under him in his 1990 autobiography. So much talent and Lineker said in another interview the Italia 90 squad had a dozen world class players, not sure we'll see such a talented squad ever again. Only the 1966 squad can claim to be better and that was a long time ago.

I dunno why but the brian Robson story makes me laugh every time

Four forest players in there, I'd kill for them to be in the team now!

If you talk about pure skill - Beardsley, Waddle, Barnes and Gazza. If you talk about hard - Butcher and Robson. If you talk about probably the 2nd best midfielder of the 80s behind Platini then its Robson. And if you want to talk about the best English footballer of all time who could stand on a pitch with any player in history and hold his own then its Gazza - what a player he was.

Strange he's said Everton was the best club side he ever played for but he's not picked any of his then team-mates, didn't even mention one a possible.

It would be very interesting to hear about their experiences and their thoughts on how the game has progressed with regards to these issues. And above any of that, just wish these players were remembered more as footballers - if not as league footballers then certainly as servants for England (clearly very good players if good enough to get into Linekar's XI!)
