    after that miserable penalty miss in euro 96,gary has recovered well and put in some good performances for aston villa,although he is reported to be unsettled at his current club. he hasnt realy been given another chance at international level and hasnt realy made a that good a start to the new season for villa. however,i still think he has a few years left in him for england and if he can get back to his usual reliable self and stay that way then i can see him back in the first team england frame as a regular ... more

He is too much of a liability to play for England, and constantly needs cover from the others- he is part of the reason for England's shocking play. he plays for aston Villa, so if he was so good he would play for a better team. If he's not good enough for Man Utd, Liverpool, Arsenal and some others then why is he ... more
