Jordan the first Pick on long list of underrated

YOUR age will have a lot to do with any list of the most underrated England players of all time - but there are probably a couple of shoo-ins from the past few decades.

In this context, when we talk about being 'underrated', let's park those whose number of caps was criminally out of sync with their ability - players such as Andy Cole (15 appearances), Matt Le Tissier (eight), Frank Worthington (eight) and Steve Bruce (none).

Instead think about players who have had, in terms of length, a very respectable England career but have never been given due acclaim.

Perhaps because of his ill-advised, dollar-driven dalliance with Saudi Arabia, Jordan Henderson (86 caps) is on the underrated list.
