Yup..was just thinking the samething.

He thought he was better than he was.

@@joelthorpe4170 exactly

We just move forward according to Johnny walker lol "keep walking and nv look back"

And saying it with the person concerned sitting next to him.

A few of them had long-term injuries at that time. Which is why Sutton actually had a fair chance. He ended up joint topscorer in the PL that season.

also, because the game bred and required classic strikers more back then

Fabio Pozzi exactly, couldn’t agree more

Wrighty was terrible for England. He should have been nowhere near fourth.

Ian Wright only made sporadic appearances for England, was never given a consistent run. I'm sure he would have scored more goals for England. But Shearer, younger and more prolific at the time, was given the nod, and rightly so. Wrighty should definitely be ahead of Sutton, especially with the latter's rotten big time charlie attitude.

Too right. Shearer, Sheringham, Cole, Wright, Fowler.. all better in that period. Wasn't good enough.

Brain Donor to be fair though his partnership with shearer had they been able to replicate that for England they may have gone on to actually win something Sutton was a great striker no one can deny that

He left gazza out because he was a piss head just like he didn't pick Beckham and after pressure from the press he played Beckham against Argentina and look what happened

@lee turton and me he's my all time hero . But when he started smacking his woman around I lost all respect for him

Was it true that when Gazza found out he wasn't in the squad for 1998 world cup he trashed his hotel room?

@itwasntme I think he smashed Glen hoddles office up when he called him in to tell him he was out of the squad

Gazza was drunk at the meeting with Glenn when he was told he was out. He'd been on the beer on the golf course. Described perfectly in Tony Adams' book

He played centre back in his early days at Norwich. He also filled in there for Celtic later in his career. But obviously made his name as a centre forward

Andy Cole?

Embarrassing. I knew I was missing someone. I'm United fan too

Krwler I can see why he said no,he was 6-to 8th choice, getting picked for b team,he dropped Gascoigne,who was brilliant in the qualifying,,

Dropping Gazza was a scandal at the time. England so much quality at the time.

Better than Ricky Lambert in recent years. Certainly bettwe than Glenn Murray who could get called up

Shakib ahmed Sutton was proved right. Matt le tisser scored a hat trick in that B game and didn’t go to the World Cup.

Striking options were endless and they still won NOTHING

@@ivanc9149 Striking options were endless, unfortunately options elsewhere were not quite as endless. If you'd listed all those options on the back of a stamp there'd still have been an end point.

Every player he mentioned has a legend in Fifa. Get it up ye Sutton #55

The stormzy of the 90s 😉

We all make mistakes when we’re younger; respect to him for eating humble pie and so publicly.

I bet defenders knew they were in a game after coming off having played those two. They could both Dish it out lol.

He desperately wants to be 'one of the boys'

@@carn5haun343 lmfao he literally barely speaks this entire video

@@Drenwickification that's still far too much aha

Thought the same

He ruins everything he touches on BT Sport.

kazmishahbrap honestly? Think he is proper rent a gob me. Just controversial for the sake of it.

I can’t stand him

kazmishahbrap least he admitted he was wrong

Takes a big man to be openly humble like he is here and own up to his mistakes especially with Glen sat next to him. He's clearly embarrassed by his own actions. Changed my view on him.

kazmishahbrap really !!!

A great player for Celtic too. He scored big goals in Europe against Barcelona, Lyon, Stuttgart, ajax and juventus

without a doubt mate. he would have made us winners all day

Greig Stott he was below average in my opinion. That’s why he played for Celtic. Any player can look good playing for Celtic in that league. Just look at Scott Sinclair.

@@markstrugnellChris Sutton scored for Celtic against Ajax, juventus, Barcelona, Lyon and Stuttgart. He helped Celtic get to the 2003 uefa cup final and Henrik Larsson played his best football with Sutton beside him. The Celtic team Sutton played for knocked teams like Ajax, Liverpool and Barcelona out of Europe.

kevin gallagher exactly, but of course classic English mentality of “My Nan could score a hatrick In the Scottish League.”

@@braydengalloway9732 I think she'd have got 4 or 5 to be honest!

​@@markstrugnell Sutton was playing in an era of Scottish fitbaw that had a lot of quality players, Scott sinclairs era.. not so much

dpj1 but Ray Parlour was no international good club player at best

Tbf we are talking about hoddle the guy who said handicapped people were being punished for something in a previous life. Who is the real bellend here? Players are spoiled we know that hoddle couldn't take it his time in the limelight as a player was over, such vanity remember him and waddle totps? 😣

@@Bats-7 Romford Pele was pretty good.

Exactly Parlour should have gone over Anderton or Lee.

Hoddle played for England but I always felt he was just a club player, at best he only ever played for 20/30 mins in most games the rest of the time he was a passenger. As a manager, we'll the least said the better. Sick note was only chosen because of the spurs connection, Rob Lee was as good as Palour so they would have made a more logical choice if your out to win things. It's a bit like Fowler and Owen both Liverpool but Fowler by far the better finisher, but England got caught up in the, well Owen's so fast, no disputing that but also injury prone and playing while injured for seven robbing erikson cost him the rest of his career, he was ever the same once his speed had gone. So many muppets and yes men in charge of England over the years and an interfering FA didn't help.

Ha ha, Parlour was bang average made to look better in a great Arsenal team. He was basically a non stop runner and told to give the ball to the quality foreigner as soon as possible!!

@@ECCENTRICERIC69 considering Parlour was in the invincibles-he was bang average.and i'm a gooner

Unfortunately they were probably the three most unprofessional players in the squad

I agree, Le Tissier's England Career is somewhat akin to Cantona's France career.

Heskey had a good attitude. That goes a long way with managers.

Cockoff Gewgle I know what your saying but a good attitude didn’t matter for some of the best players maradonna, cantona and gasgoigne etc talent usually wins out

Sutton didn't have that much talent. Consider how egotistical and hard to deal with most players must be. Think how much of a dream it must be when one comes along who is hard working and humble. That's why Pedros and Welbecks exist.

Cockoff Gewgle Cockoff Gewgle he was a record English transfer fee, joint top goal scorer in the premier league, won premier league, spl numerous times and could play Center forward or defensively consider how egotistical one moment in his career was every player can make a mistake Roy Keane flew home from a World Cup while captain not like Sutton’s alone in making a poor decision

And there were 6 better strikers. Keane never played for Ireland again either.

England did better than Hoddle's 98, much better

go out in the first knock out round? yous have done better than that 3 times out of 5 since

Michael Owen was a poacher but in Madrid he lacks Basic Skills compared to Ronaldo Raul.

vhprecords - because as hoddle said, he needed six touches to get it under control. Wasn't good enough for the top top level. The majority of players would have scored by the busload playing in the united team of the 90s

No chance

No way,Sutty was unlucky due2 the players that was at hoddle choice there was 7-8 strikers he had,,& sheringham wasnt 1 of them

Honestly no just no just no no no no no just no ok no

Disgrace ... If Venables was as good a manager as made out He'd have played LeTiss in Euro 96 and won the competition.

Le tiss was awful in an England shirt. Him and Collymore who were great strikers in their day.

I think Chris has said it right now.He shouldn't have done it when there were so many good options he should be able to work out why he wasn't picked.If he had played the last 10 games and then been dropped he might expect an explanation but not after 1

Rednapp, really

it was because there was no VAR. i swear the referee and linesmen have been paid up. at the tip of my fingers I can recall 3 or 4 major events where England were wrongly adjudged - though one was probably not that wrong - the Beckham red card was probably $$$ paid to ref

3 goals

What did he bottle?

He did a great interview the week after Seville moments after Celtic beat Kilmarnock in 2003. Dunfermline lay down to them boo hoo

He did the opposite of bottling it. He was refreshingly open and honest about the whole thing, even admitting that it was his own fault.

And won.... 🙄

That's too easy ! At international level ; Sheringham & Shearer !!

Shearer had been at Newcastle a couple of seasons by then
