Taylor tried EVERYONE looking for a partner or replacement for Lineker. On top of eventual choice Shearer, Sheringham who he was blind to for too long and bridesmaid Les Ferdinand, he had a look at Hateley, David Hirst, Brian Deaneā¦ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members PunkStep Posted June 15, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted June 15, 2022 And yet fast forward a year or so later, the decent striker options for England are in abundance. Crazy the amount of decent English forwards around in the mid-90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot Man City's David White got a cap too. Lee Chapman didn't, despite a bit of good form for 1992 league champions Leeds. If Cambridge had gone up, I'd have fancied Dublin would have had a look too but he was made to wait until 1998(!). Mid 90s was an embarrassment of riches. Stan Collymore and Andy Cole barely had a look because of Shearer and Sheringham with Les and Robbie Fowler as backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members PunkStep Posted June 15, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted June 15, 2022 He did smash 4 against San Marino in that infamous game too. Shame he picked up injuries towards the end of the 97/98 season- him and Scholes worked really well together I thought.Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was one of those times there was no Shearer or Sheringham so Wright and Les played. The infamous San Marino game is the night Paul Ince scored his only two goals for England. InceĀ alsoĀ missed that Moldova game, it was a bit of a thrown together team. I think every qualifier in that campaign was missing someone crucial. Le Tissier starting against Italy at Wembley the obvious most notable "Huh??" selection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
