Hart

Only regular who hasn't shown himself to be a nasty tw*t (yet)

I'd pick it after the team's been picked.

Can't see past Hart personally. Cole is a tw*t, Gerrard Lampard and Rio are past it, Barry and Parker are too little too late, and the likes of Walcott, Wilshere and Rooney just aren't captaincy material

OUT for goalies being captain, particularly considering everyone will turn on him if/when he drops a clanger

Just don't have one, let them take it in turns to swap pennants

We obsess far too much about who the England captain is or should be, as though that will determine our success or failure. The fact that we have so many senior players who fail to lead on the field is of far bigger concern than who gets to wear an armband.

Another vote for Hart, Capello will want to pick a captain who might survive a few months without a scandal/loss of form/injury.

It will need to be someone who is guaranteed a starting place and who captains his own club side....

+1 for Hart.

I'm sure he too is a nasty twat, pre requisite for being an England footballer, but as yet Hart has kept his misdemeanours away from the press.

1871 Royal Parker


He's seems far too quiet/focused on this own game to be a captain
