21 England caps say otherwise.
A criminally low amount for such a talented player.
Batty got 42 and was inferior in every way. Neil Webb, Kieron Dyer, Nicky Butt, Gareth Barry, Phil Neville and SWP all have more. I rest my case.
Lee was behind Platt, Gazza and then Scholes: just unfortunate timing I guess. All those players mentioned were from a different era so irrelevant and Batty played a different role so again irrelevant. Also Butt was on the whole a solid performer for England and before he came to us a genuinely good player.
Anyways I shall not derail - HBRL, I will always remember when you signed an autograph for me at Durham CCC game. Whether I still have it is another question.
