Biggest case in point in the England team

Ashley Cole. Has the first touch of a Conference player and his footballing abilities in terms of skill are negligible. However, he's quick, fit and a good athlete. And that makes him allegedly the best left back in the world.

Andrew Johnson is another. Very quick, superfit, runs all day. But has far less skill than Robert Fleck had.

Gazza had more skill, ambition and love of trying something different than any of the current England players.

The only one who tries things - and has often been criticised for doing so - is Joe Cole.
