Former Leeds boss Peter Reid has likened Liverpool’s talisman Steven Gerrard to England’s iconic captain, Bryan Robson.

Reid said to ITV:”There’s different types of captains but I think the inspirational ones in the middle of the park, like Robson, like Gerrard, galvanize the team when they need galvanizing.

“I think Steve Gerrard, when he has responsibility, is a better player. I’d give it [the England captaincy] to him.”

“I think he’s one of those that likes to lead from example. He’s all action, he can get a goal, he can play from attack. If it was up to me it would Gerrard.”
