Current England crop no match for 'golden generation', says Dyer

England's Euro 2016 squad is no match for the so-called 'golden generation' that he played in during the 2000s, according to Kieron Dyer.

Roy Hodgson's side are in France ahead of their bid to end a 50-year wait for a major international trophy.

But Dyer, who earned 33 caps for his country, believes Joe Hart is the only player who can be considered world class in the current side, which the former Newcastle United midfielder says does not compare to the teams he played in that included the likes of David Beckham, Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard and Ashley Cole.
