    Seriously - What a complete and utter waste of time. I'm so not interested in this that I'm going to watch the launch of Celebrity big brother instead.

    Just flicked it on and lee Dixon is now working for itv. When did that happen. Thought he was always the best thing about BBCs football coverage.

    Jack Butland - contrary to common belief, he's NOT the first player to play for England in a full international without having played a game in any of the top three divisions in England.
    So who is? :-)

    Lord Romford - Edgar Kail, the Dulwich Hamlet keeper in the 1930's, was an amatuer, who played for the full England team. I don't think he ever played in the League- might be wrong.

    Correct

    Edgar Isaac Lewis Kail (26 November 1900 – 1976) was a former England footballer. He gained three caps in 1929 for England, playing Spain, Belgium and France. He scored two goals on his debut against France. Kail was a committed amateur, turning down moves to professional clubs to stay at his club, Dulwich Hamlet. Kail had a short international career, only six days long, gaining all three caps on England's brief continental tour of 1929. He was the last non-league player to play for the full England team, although not the last amateur - Bernard Joy of Casuals and Arsenal played for England in 1936.
    In the 1990s the approach to Dulwich's ground, Champion Hill, was renamed Edgar Kail Way in his honour. In 2003 a blue plaque dedicated to Kail was unveiled by Southwark Council at the site of Champion Hill.

    Kail was a forward then -

    The keeper was Bert Coleman, another amateur who played for Dulwich Hamlet & full England.

    After the quality of the BBC commentaries during the Olympics, is anyone else struggling with the cliche commentary of Tyldesley & Townsend?
  • Cracking goal for Defoe there. Was shouting at him to pass it....

    Just switched on the last 15 minutes. Saints preserve us from the awful monotony of the people who think they can play brass instruments and relentlessly bash out awful dirges. If that went on at Charlton games I'd stop going!
  • Not watching but I see we have 55% possession. After the Euros everyone was banging on about possession like it was more important than winning. Are we playing well?
