England’s captain turned 34 at the back end of last month but his influence certainly isn’t on the wane.
He was sensational for Liverpool in a deeper midfield role last season and, with this likely to be his swansong tournament for the Three Lions, he’ll be keener than ever to inspire.
Possesses a fine range of passing and a never-say-die attitude that has made him a legend for his club and country.
