There’s a few negative threads about football at the moment so let’s have a fun one.

Which England football player(s) would you go on a date with? I’ll go first- Jordan Henderson Wink

It used to be Harry Maguire until I heard his voice. I know I'm really shallow but it wasn't what I was expecting at all!
Jack Grealish - his hair is awful.
Declan Rice - adorable
Harry Kane - his size and physique is amazing, but he's got quite "sad" eyes. He's a fantastic human being though.
Marcus Rashford - he's in the team eve though he hadn't played much. He's handsome and also a fabulous human being.
But ultimately, it's got to be Gareth Southgate. Unconventional and a bit wonky but very handsome and yet another fantastic human.
We should be so so proud of the players we have in our England team. They are brilliant sportsmen but also brilliant role models for our kids.

Sorry that was longer than intended Grin

@newnortherner111

Sure we used to say Peter Beardsley not Ian Downe, but I guess they are fairly interchangeable Grin

@StrawberryLipstickStateOfMind

Actually, it's 12 years.

I've got an extra 16 years on Declan Rice.

iamalighthouse · 08/07/2021 20:25

@Astorica

And he can rap *@iamalighthouse* Grin

There was a rumour that he used to keep a shag pad on Breck Road though

Where's breck road ? Grin he used to play for my team!

I absolutely love Gareth. He just seems like such a nice person.

I also love Harry Kane. In a non-sexual way. He seems like a really nice person too. Love that he wore a Pride armband last week.

Biscuitsneeded · 08/07/2021 20:29

Sterling has amazing eyelashes. I think I want to adopt him rather than date him, but he is adorable. If we're dating, then unashamedly Lineker! He's just so magnetic and seems from his tweets and the stances he takes on things to be a thoroughly decent person.

Onlinedilema · 08/07/2021 20:30

Jack Grealish he had gorgeous eyelashes and lovely hair!

Agree 100% with this post. Smile

@WheresMyAlex

Jordan Pickford, all day every day. He’s my fave, but tbh I wouldn’t kick most of them out of bed in the morning, they’re a good looking bunch.
I like his current 90s curtains hairstyle Grin
GertrudePerkinsPaperyThing · 08/07/2021 20:30

My teen dd is very impressed that Kane wore a pride armband!

This thread is a hilarious read for those of us who are Gareth lovers

That's brilliant I shall have to settle down and read it properly. I bet he'd think it funny too.
weekend2021 · 08/07/2021 20:35

Grealish or Sterling.
Or Pickford.
And I’m old enough to be the Mummy of their Mummy Shock

@MozzchopsThirty

I really don't find that twitter user (littlemaddles) funny to be honest. Confused Bit too 'try hard' for my liking.

MrsSkylerWhite · 08/07/2021 20:36

None of them: most are younger than my eldest 🤣

TipTopHat · 08/07/2021 20:43

Kalvin Phillips. Such a lovely bloke. And so fit!
Grealish makes me feel a bit ill. Greasy. And can't stay on his feet. He's embarrassing

Phantasmo · 08/07/2021 20:43

There was a person on last year who a long and amusing thread about her passion for Jurgen Klopp. I think the Southgate tweet is trying to re-capture that.

MrsGulDukat · 08/07/2021 20:45

Going off tangent.

Frank de Boer (Dutch manager) is still gorgeous.

And Freddie Ljungberg. Beautiful face and lovely to listen to.

Geamhradh · 08/07/2021 20:47

Mine is Mount after the clip of him giving his shirt to the little girl. Not so much that moment, but when he got back down onto the pitch and turned round to look back at her, grinning because he'd just made her so happy.
I love the fact that Harry Kane married a girl he was at school with (like I love the fact that Gareth used to hide behind the nighties or whatever it was in the shop that his wife worked at when he fancies her)

justawrinkleintime · 08/07/2021 20:49

Scottish here and my oh my Jack Grealish Blush

MrsGulDukat · 08/07/2021 20:50

How is anyone put off by this beautiful face and floppy hair.

Yes to all of this. My dd likes Mount the best Grin
SnitchyBitch · 08/07/2021 20:51

John Stones is the best looking of them all.

sweeneytoddsrazor · 08/07/2021 20:51

None of the current crop do it for me. Tomas Kalas (Czech Republic) is probably my top choice but if we are sticking with England then I am going to wander off and do a bit of commentary with Jamie Redknapp.

lollypoppi · 08/07/2021 20:52

Mount, he has a gorgeous smile. Quite like Grealish too but his hair annoys me a bit. Jordan Henderson alright too 😌

Just by looking at him Grin
