May I remind you that Djimi Traore and Ivan Campo have CL medals and Stephane Guivarche and Bernard Diomede won world cup medals. Consistency over a long period of time is far more of a relevant yard stick imo.
Not sure about that. I saw England play on many occasions and he and Ashley Cole were the two stand out players along with Scholes before he retired. Beckham was immense for England IMO.
