World class players

[ronandtet]

Was listening to a canny discussion about the England team and one pundit (not sure who it was) reckoned we didn't have any world class players in the team.

Kane is very, very good but is he world class? I dunno. Other than that, it's spot on.

Made me think, who was the last world class player we had?

Do we have to go back as far as Shearer, Ginola, Beardsley (and I reckon folk would look at those last two and think 'hmmm'.

Thoughts?

by the same token zippity what do world class players bring to a team ? a lot of teams with world class players got nowhere during the world cup
