    Retired from international football just as Horseface von Penaltymiss tries to call him up to the England squad.

    Quite surprised as I think he could have played a role at the world cup as an impact type. His days as first choice are long gone.

    Where does he rank among England greats? I wish he'd played with better players, I think I may have judged him too harshly at times. Just frustrated the **** out of me by banging them in all through qualifiers and then falling flat at tournaments.

    England will have to find another non-scoring striker

    I wouldn't wanna play in any team that Southgate manages and picks players like Henderson and Sterling either.

    Well his wife is pregnant with their fourth so perhaps he's got other things to occupy all these meaningless international breaks which **** up the flow of each season.
    Probably the right time as he's no longer first choice.
