“I still get that question asked now…especially in cabs in London, they love that conversation,” he says with a grin, as he looks forward to meeting his old England team-mate as a managerial rival this weekend.
It is of course the age old one: who is better. The former Liverpool man, the all time Chelsea record goalscorer, or even Paul Scholes, the little Manchester United genius.
