England’s success under Gareth Southgate should be making members of the so-called ‘golden generation’ jealous, says Jamie Redknapp.
Wayne Rooney, who was drafted back into the current regime for one final outing against the United States, has claimed that the progress made by the class of 2018 does not sit well with some former stars.
He said: “I know there are some ex-players who I’ve spoken to who can’t come to terms with England doing well.”
Redknapp considers that to be a fair assessment, with the rejuvenated Three Lions having reached the semi-final stage at the World Cup in Russia and booked a place in the last four of the inaugural Nations League.
