I think certainly Gerrard for England and for Liverpool.

What a leader he was for Liverpool, he became captain at such a young age (23).

Roy [Keane], I didn’t play with enough to see that – so I couldn’t really say.

He’d have a go at players, rightly or wrongly. I remember him having a go at Fletch which felt a bit unfair because Roy did the exact opposite to what he asked to do.

He asked Fletch a lot to charge his phone in the dressing room. You shouldn’t have your phone in the dressing room, which is fine.

But then we came in after training and Roy is taking his phone off charge.

That’s Roy. I didn’t really play with Roy long enough, but you certainly see how much of a leader he was.

You’re trying to take bits of bit of everyone. Stevie led by example with his actions on the pitch and how he tried to force the game or drag his team back into a game.

Ryan Giggs was more taking risks, in terms of sometimes the game’s tight and he’d try and play a pass which a lot of players would not try and make.

Michael Carrick led with his presence on the pitch. He’s a big lad. I don’t think people realise how big he is. He had a presence in midfield.

Beckham led in different ways. He had an aura, charisma about him and how he played the game.

One of the biggest compliments I can give to Beckham is he didn’t stop running.

He was an example to all the players.

Joe Cole comes into the [England] squad and he was more of a flair player.

He’s got no excuse not to run back if Beckham is running back and doing that and he’s the captain.

He had this aura about him, both on and off the pitch, but he didn’t speak the most.
