on the other side, we have ashley cole, the only be ame player to have gotten cole, the only be ame playerr to have gotten caps for england. his ability was amazing, quick, skilful. now in my mid field, i've got my hero, ricky hale. luton town legend, didn't play enough for england in my opinion. again, and england captain, compassionate and strong, opinionated, talented, and a winner. john barnes at watford was a legend. i clean his boots at watford. this isa i clean his boots at watford. this is a highly talented player. also jamaican, after my dutch half of my roots are jamaican, so there's a link there. andy cole, an england player who should've got more he makes it upfront. awesome finisher. and my last player, serial reaches, because of his iconic status and pa rt because of his iconic status and part of my england football appraising. —— serial reaches. so my notable bench is emile hiskey, lori cunningham, ian wright, saul campbell, and wes brown. that is my england 11, my bame ii to celebrate black history month. i reckon that site is good for winning or beating everyone. thank you
