Ruddock in his one game against nigeria acquitted himself well. Keith Curle? did you not see his performance against denmark in euro 1992 Stuart Pearce had to headbut a bloke to save Curle getting sent off for rugby tackling laudrup who was skinning him for fun that day.
No, not a Wolves fan, but Bull's scoring record for England was very good. 5 starts plus 8 sub appearances and 4 goals scored. How about Andy Cole, 15 caps and 1 goal, or many others I could mention. It's hard to believe that Michael Ricketts would have got 4 goals for England, no matter how many caps he got. If you discount the 4 goals Ian Wright scored aginst San Marino, it took him 32 matches to score 4 times for England.
You argument about Keith Curle is invalid, as you picked him at centre back and in the match against Denmark you mention above he was playing out of position at right back. You chose Lee Dixon at right back, not Curle. If you're claiming that Curle was England's worst ever centre back, stating that you think he was poor at right back doesn't support your case at all.

(Dis)honourable mentions also go out to, Steve Guppy, Robert Lee, Warren Barton, Earl Barrett, Lee Hendrie, Andy Gray (The one from Palace, for the easily confused. ) and Stan Collymore. Some of those selected, or even mentioned in dispatches, may well have been excellent for their clubs, but none of them showed anything worth a damn at international level.

I agree with that lot but I feel one more should be added and that is a certain Mr Ian Wright, he was shocking every time he put on an England shirt infact you'd think he was a different person reading his statistics for the league, one of the best strikers around and yet never performed for England, that was a real shame!
