ENGLAND YOUNGSTERS
I promise not to go on but I consistently urged Fabio Capello to pick Joe Hart for the World Cup as number one goalie and to take young Adam Johnson in the squad.Hart was outstanding on loan for Birmingham;Johnson will give you something different when all else fails.Everyone kept saying: no experience;not ready yet.Rubbish.Some of those with lots of international experience stop producing.Emile Heskey is a classic example.Brazil keep blooding young talent.Its always been the same for England.I recall Ron Greenwood getting really angry with the Midlands media,including me,for pushing West Bromwich Albion's outstanding player Bryan Robson.When he was finally picked we were justified.The same with Don Revie and the Birmingham hero Trevor Francis.When Francis finally played he was also class.Just as England supporters have short tolerance spans so England managers need to give youngsters time.It now paying of for Theo Walcott.
