There have been more things wrong with England than just Wayne Rooney in the last few years.

England have players who can rattle anyone's feathers

Often the biggest test is when the chips are down and you've got to stick together as a team.

Best players I played with? Striker wise, well, I had a great record with Emile Heskey - he would be one of my favourite partnerships because we were so different and worked together so well.

I have never thought of a scenario where international football was not a massive part of our [England] game.

There is no doubt that I would have won more honours had I signed for Manchester United as a youngster.
