Midfield: Steven Gerrard
After Terry’s shocking affair with the former partner of Bridge, Gerrard then became captain for the World Cup in South Africa.
He certainly was a positive for the Three Lions against the USA, putting them ahead with just four minutes on the clock.
Gerrard is currently unemployed as a manager, having been sacked by Aston Villa last month. He’s being tipped for a return to Rangers, especially with that hotseat now free.
Midfield: Frank Lampard
Lampard and Gerrard sounded like a world-class midfield on paper. Certainly, both players were among the very best their generation had to offer.
The 44-year-old won every major trophy at Chelsea and, since hanging up his boots, took over Derby and the Blues.
Lampard is now manager at Everton but it’s a tough job at Goodison Park and there’s a sense he could soon be out of work by the time the season comes to an end.
Right-wing: Aaron Lennon
David Beckham had been expected to start on the right for England when they met USA 12 years ago, having won Capello round.
Yet injury struck and the former Manchester United, Real Madrid, LA Galaxy, AC Milan and PSG star instead joined Capello and his coaching team on the bench.
Aaron Lennon was then picked in his place. He was playing until recently but retired from football at the end of last season following Burnley’s relegation to the Championship.
