Carragher hails England pair

Thursday Mar 22 2007 08:31

Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has hailed England team-mates John Terry and Rio Ferdinand as two of the best centre-halves in world football.

Carragher is likely to fill in at full-back for the Euro 2008 qualifier against Israel on Saturday, with his opportunities limited at the heart of defence due to the presence of Terry and Ferdinand.

Carragher said: "I'd love to play at centre-half for England, but John Terry and Rio Ferdinand were probably two of our best players in the World Cup last summer.

"For me, John Terry is the best centre-back in the world. Over the last three or four years, I wouldn't have anyone ahead of him.

"Then you've got Rio who was as good as anyone at the World Cup, so I am in no position to complain about not playing at centre-back. You are talking about world-class players.

"It is just one of those things. I've still got 30 odd caps for England and hopefully I can get a few more before my England career finishes.

"Playing for England, you are always going to have competition. We have some of the best players in the world. It's just unfortunate they are all at centre-back."

At last he speaks some sense jt.gif

He also said in an interview that Lampard and Gerrard can play together for England as they are both world class players and both have had superb seasons.

Somone angling for a move South?
