'Steely' Southgate has spent his entire career fighting - this World Cup is no different ✒️ samcunningham

Where in other circumstances England’s most successful boss since Sir Alf Ramsey would be revered, a vocal percentage of supporters, pundits and ex-pros have struggled to take to Southgate since he turned a decent spell as caretaker into a full-time job.

Criticism had a way of motivating Southgate. It was why he kept the letter he received from Southampton aged 14 that said he was being let go after a year due to his size. Smith had lit a fire within. “I always found Gareth very dignified and polite, whatever the circumstances,” Smith says. “He set standards and was a leader in his own quiet way. But when he’s annoyed, you know it. When I made him Palace captain, it was all those things that attracted me.

Southgate was discussing this one day with a man doing some work on his house, who returned with a photograph of that European Cup-winning side. He stuck it over his peg at the training ground.
