Bellingham- Best England midfielder of my lifetime.

I just hope some pop star girlfriend or equivalent airhead doesn’t ruin this lad.

I’ve never seen a better English midfielder and I’ve seen few in the whole of World football who match this lad.

The ability to carry the ball distances using both feet along with the power and balance and ability to ghost past opponents and ride tackles is spellbinding.

Nearest thing I’ve seen to Zidane.

Once he fully matures to his physical maximum he will start to add rucks of goals as well.

England’s next captain without question.

His dad Mark scored over 700 goals in non league football Lloyd, many of them for Stourbridge FC.

Old fashioned number 9 who scored a lot of this type of goal on the clip, he was like a non league Mark Hughes in style of play.

He played in a front pair at Stourbridge FC with a lad called Rob Taylor, I discovered Rob at 17 and brought him into my Sunday League side.

Bellingham was lethal at his level though.

Interesting trivia bit, Mark has just retired as a policeman and his officer number was PC1966😎😏

The role of ‘midfielder’ has changed over the years, but for me Bryan Robson would feature in my top list.
Interesting to consider how the likes of Bobby Charlton would fit into the modern game?

Robson was a good player and better than Declan Rice but not in the class of Bellingham in my opinion.

A bit to go before he's in Gazza's class in my opinion .

Got every chance to be the very best we've produced I'll say that .

Bryan Robson. Although he was the best player in any position. Some even said if he’d have gone in goal he would probably be best in that position too. I think Bellingham is a great midfielder but when you add the steel of Robson he comes out top for me.
