Upson chosen as one of the two worst ever centre backs to play for England on a programme that just finished on BBC3 (Englands worst ever football team), will probably be repeated at some point in the week. Mostly for his performance in the last world cup against Germany. Does he really deserve it? A lot worse out there.???

That goal against Germany was clearly John Terry's fault! well one of them anyway!

What a stupid program. At least he can say he played for England which i assume the producers of the show can not.

The Graham Taylor reign notoriously included caps awarded to some average at best players. Geoff Thomas of CPFC - a midfielder, but even years later Baddiel & Skinner took the p*ss at footage of his attempted screamer from 25 yards which ended up near the corner flag at Wembley for England vs France. Just one incident, but symptomatic of international midfielders outclassing him. According to wiki, he had 9 caps ffs. Also, Earl Barrett, Keith Curle and Carlton Palmer.

They also picked Paul Scholes as one of the worst midfielders too.

Personally, it was always going to be a load of shit anyway, the first "worst England team" show they did was the more correct one.

I can't believe people would treat a BBC3 programme about football with anything more than distain. Clueless numbskulls.

You're joking right? Please tell me you're joking. He'd be in contention for the BEST team.

Picking on England's last World Cup goalscorer seems a bit unnecessary. And besides, I'd argue that a fit Upson at his peak was better than three out for the four centre backs we're taking on the plane this time round.

Still, the real question is why would anybody be watching BBC Three?
