sid talking about his italian experience

[villan from luton]

I think Gary Shaw could have been on that list as well, but for that to55er Bowyer

Probably agree again.In that era though having an International Cap was sacrosanct - Brian Little's international cap in real terms and taking inflation into account makes Lee Hendrie's cap look like 5 metre swimming badge.Gary Shaw was a truely gifted player as was Withe , Morley, Bremner , Mortimer....I could name the team but I 'm on about a squad that includes Pele, Van Basten, Cruyff.I dont like Arsenal but when I was a kid I thought Liam Brady was world class.

Sid was a truly wonderful player and I think he should have been in the England squad well before his first cap and for a long time after. He had the potential to be world class.

In my opinion the only world class player we have had in my lifetime has been McGrath, though Platt and Bosnich were possible contenders for a while.
