I don't mean simply taking men on once in a while, I mean a great defender has to be a great footballer also. I don't think Campbell or Terry are great footballers, and I think that certainly was evident when they played together at Euro 2004 and were unable to push out from the back and play it out from there. Either of them beside Rio Ferdinand would be excellent, but I think at the top level, they need someone of Rio's class there.

Good Premiership players, like Frank Lampard. Against the top teams, I think they're found wanting.

I watched Norwich vs. Chelsea last Saturday, by the way, on Irish TV.
