and you look at how what pep started with phil foden is very, very similar to whatjohan cruyff did with why phil foden has been so good this year. and also he's playing a much more central position in the middle of the pitch means it's going to be very, very interesting for gareth southgate and england at the euros this summer as to who gareth southgate puts him. does he go withjude bellingham? does he go with phil foden? does he go with declan rice in that kind of central midfield position? but phil foden evolution as a player has been really, reallyjoyous for season going. tributes are being paid to one of hollywood's most successful songwriters, richard m sherman, who has died at the age of 95. he wrote over 150 songs with his brother robert for classic films such as mary poppins, thejungle book and chitty chitty bang bang. our culture reporter victoria bourne looks back at his career. # supercalifragilistic— expialidocious generations of families will be familiar with the work of richard m sherman. alongside his late brother, robert, he won two oscars in 1965 for the score of mary p
