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

My teens fancy Grealish!

It's just wrong. So I'd say Gareth Southgate. This was a funny twitter thread about him

The young lads jumping into the swimming pool on the inflatables just remind me of my own boys.

TheHateIsNotGood · 08/07/2021 21:55

Trippier - coz I really like his name and the concept of a Squad with a Trippier and a Kane(it) suits me fine. Respect Sterling the most, natch.

danadas · 08/07/2021 21:57

Dominic Calvert-Lewin every time.

minionsrule · 08/07/2021 21:58

Johnny Pebbles is the only correct answer (Stones).
You can keep Henderson, i look at him and think the light is on but no one's home Grin

GirlAloud · 08/07/2021 22:01

None of the England players do much for me, but Kasper Schmeichel is lovely. A good bloke, too, by all accounts.

crapatthis1 · 08/07/2021 22:01

I'm a huge John Barnes fan Grin

Current team I fancy :

Grealish (I love his legs)
Sterling
Kalvin Phillips
Luke Shaw

Harsh. The vid of him doing up Saka and Grealish's ties like a dad is the cutest thing ever.

wendz86 · 08/07/2021 22:05

Jack Grealish and Mason Mount although they are way too young for me.

Overdon · 08/07/2021 22:05

Too young to seriously fancy but DCL is a beautiful man.

I did feel stirrings when Roy Keane shaved that horrible beard off thoughBlush

TakemedowntoPotatoCity · 08/07/2021 22:07

Only Gareth. The others are babies

Disclaimer: I haven't yet watched a match in full so I reserve the right to change my mind on Sunday Grin

maxbabi · 08/07/2021 22:07

Gareth I absolutely love and adore (love the twitter feed).
All the others are young enough to be my kids.....

Rabbitheadlights · 08/07/2021 22:09

Yes @Overdon I've been berated for my love of Roy Keane for years

the80sweregreat · 08/07/2021 22:10

Roy Keane looks a hard nut!

HumphreysCorner · 08/07/2021 22:10

Kalvin Phillips 🥰 followed by Jack Grealish❤️

Astorica · 08/07/2021 22:10

Who’s the chap who looks like Cillian Murphy?

Astorica · 08/07/2021 22:12

If we’re going off the England piste then it has to be Cantona, back in the day

edwinbear · 08/07/2021 22:13

Mason Mount for me. I’m not a football fan by any stretch, but thoroughly enjoyed watching him running around getting all sweaty. Lots of young blokes like an older woman don’t they Grin

ThorsMistress · 08/07/2021 22:13

Kieran Trippier is a bit of me!

Phantasmo · 08/07/2021 22:13

@Astorica

He was a one off.

Rabbitheadlights · 08/07/2021 22:17

Agree @Astorica Cantona and Keane were the posters I had on my wall as a teen

thisismadness77 · 08/07/2021 22:17

I’d be up for consoling Kasper Schmichael...

blaisealex · 08/07/2021 22:18

Ohh. Love this thread. Grealish and Stones are my faves. And Grealish is the same age as me! Not keen on any of the others but I agree about Pickford when he's getting angry!

My all time favourites are Switzerland though. Granit Xhaka, Admir Mehmedi and Fabian Schär. Love them! I also love Toni Kroos for Germany and Jasper Cillessen for Netherlands but Cillessen didn't go to the Euros this year as he caught Covid.

Arrowheart · 08/07/2021 22:20

@LadyJaye

I would just like Gareth Southgate to come round, say nice things/make me a cup of tea/advise on bathroom tiling etc.

The sort of things he seems intrinsically good at, you know (NB - I'm Scottish).

Brilliant!!
Youdiditanyway · 08/07/2021 22:24

Grealish’s hair is bloody awful, I can’t move past that.

I’m 28 so not too old for most of them except the teenagers obviously Grin. It’s Kalvin for me but he does resemble an ex from years ago so I feel a bit weird admitting that!
