The classy midfielder has long been advanced as the answer to England’s supposed creative deficit, but almost every time he seems set to stake his claim as a regular in the national team midfield he suffers an injury setback. Euro 96 summed up his international career to date. He came on as a substitute and turned the game against Scotland, only to suffer an ankle injury that ruled him out of the rest of the tournament. An elegant passer of the ball, he has also improved the defensive side of his game in recent seasons. He also packs a powerful shot, and is a danger from set pieces and open play. He opened his international scoring account with a spectacular strike against Belgium in 1999.
