Excellent player in his day, but obviously his desire for celebrity status raised his name above far better players.

I remember seeing him in the flesh as a kid back in the 90s, and he terrified you when the ball went onto his right foot. I can't remember many players where there is such anticipation or tension (depending on your viewpoint) when a player is about to strike a ball. Maybe the likes of Nedved lining up a shot, or Roberto Carlos with 10 yards to run into.

He always tried his best for England, even if the end of his international career was a total sham.

I can still remember watching the England-Greece game (christ, it was over 10 years ago), and he was dragging England along and leading through everything he did. I was quite happy for him as he scored the goal as well, otherwise I think that performance will have been forgotten (by most) and he'd have been grouped together with his failure teammates.
