However, what is evident, watching this match and when the other home nations are playing, that whilst players for Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland may not be as 'good' or technically gifted, they are hard workers and play with passion. It is clear, they are proud to play for their country.
I'm not sure their supporters would tolerate any of the prima donnas that play for England either :p
Gary Speed was one of my all time favourite players, even though I am not a toon supporter, never nothing scandalous about him, loved the game, me dependable who could be relied upon all the time, a true professional, give me 11 Gary Speeds and that would be the perfect team...
Football lost one of it's true greats when he died, still devastating to this day and still miss him
