No, Walker cannot be considered World class. Let him nail down an England place for a good while and maybe even win a club trophy or two before we get carried away. Gascoigne yes, Scholes definitely, Cole for several years at his peak and Lineker then I am struggling too. Lots of very good players who won plenty in club football amongst our so called golden era but they rarely shone on the top international stage. The England side we fielded the other night was amongst the poorest looking line ups in our history. I can't comment on the game as I gave up watching pointless friendlies many years ago.
