Upson worst ever England cenre back?

[Pogue Mahone]

Jeez! who was the other worst centre back then..

The other worst centre back was Des Walker. No, really, that's who they chose.

Nobody in the team finished playing before the Premier League started.

This programme was utter shit, embarrassing and clueless.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Picking on England's last World Cup goalscorer seems a bit unnecessary. And besides, I'd argue that a fit Upson at his peak was better than three out for the four centre backs we're taking on the plane this time round.

Still, the real question is why would anybody be watching BBC Three?

I have teenage sons.

 

[Geestar]

Poor show...flicked off after Stevie G was mentioned.

 

[Gullflyinghigh]

They also picked Paul Scholes as one of the worst midfielders too.

Really? Surely that's a wind up?

 

[bristolseagull]

Wasn't this programme on like 4 years ago?

Personally, it was always going to be a load of shit anyway, the first "worst England team" show they did was the more correct one.

You're joking right? Please tell me you're joking. He'd be in contention for the BEST team.

Ahh, the mysterious case of Paul Scholes, the longer he wasn't playing the better he got. He went from being a sulky player with the odd moment of occasional brilliance to, by 2010, some sort of sort of non-apparitional Lionel Messi.

He was good playing central, a bit rubbish and sulked on the left when called on to answer England's Left Side Problem (TM). Excellent when called on to answer the Gerrard and Lampard Can't Play Together Problem.

At least this World Cup, while they are both past their best, the penny seems to have dropped that one provides cover for the other - admittedly they both now need cover as I doubt either can last 90minutes in that heat.

Worth putting this in then:

Wow. I'm seen some drivel in my time but this....

Scholes was included on the basis that he retired from International footy way too early in his career, thus letting England down. Programme was utter shite. And who on earth was the narrator? Awful choice - his voice was appalling.

Upson was the last man to score a goal in a World Cup for England!! Had a decent tournament aswell, luckily these aren't the sort of shows to take particularly seriously!!

 

[Braggfan]

What was the rest of the team? Surely Nicky Shorey must have featured.

 

[Bevendean Hillbilly]

Upson was shit in the Germany game. But Terry was shittier.

 

[atfc village]

Terrible programme they even put Vinnie Jones in even though he played for Wales as he was born in Watford utter waste of time.

 

[Superphil]

Didn't he score in that game?

The last England player to score in a WC tournament too.

 

[Braders]

Wasn't this programme on like 4 years ago?

This was the updated version following the last World Cup.

 

[luge]

did not see it ,but did not have to
BBC football = knobs

BBC football did not make this programme.

 

[glasfryn]

BBC football did not make this programme.

someone there decided to show it though
the BBC is fast becoming the ITV of the 60's

 

[Wozza]

someone there decided to show it though

Someone on BBC3 (soon to close), not the sports dept.

BIG difference.

Having given it some thought, I've concluded that yes, Leicester City's Matthew Upson is by FAR the worst England centre half, ever.
