Where are you at?

I think the legacy, I think you've got to look at the legacy of what Gareth Southgate went and did afterwards as well.

I'm not taking it purely from a football perspective.

England to get into the next two out of three finals, I think that's an incredible legacy from on the pitch stuff.

Of course, we've talked about the many good things that have happened off it, but I think there's a real genuine football legacy there.

And like what Dan said earlier on,

We're not used to England players being like the best.

I remember Gazza being the best in the world in 90, but I don't remember Harry Kane is arguably the best striker in the world.

But we're more conditioned to that a bit more now, certainly on the pitch.

But again, it goes back to the amazing, incredible leadership that Southgate did on and off the pitch throughout his time.

And I think I remember talking about walking out of stadiums or despondent.

I wasn't necessarily that despondent in Moscow.

Of course, I was gutted to a point.

I was fuming when I was walking down Wembley Way, but that was for different reasons.

But when walking out of Berlin, there was a real anger and discredit.

And even the next day in the following media articles and reaction, Gareth Southgate did some incredible things for England.

Like, incredible.

We made two finals, one semi-final.

He brought the country together in a way that hardly any leader...

has done in recent times and I really do think that there should be more respect put on his name and and I that's the legacy for me is that yeah good people can actually do well and and an honest man in a dishonest world succeeded
