In all the drivel written about our so-called "golden generation" he is the one player we've had who can be deemed "world class".
It would be ridiculous so it's a good job I am not denying his ability, he is a good player, a very good player. I just don't see what he does exceptionally well and to be the best in the world you have to stand out. I can't remember the last time he did anything for England other than look fairly solid.
I can't think off the top of my head about which players are better but he does not stand out to me like he did maybe a few years ago.
