Thank you for the replies about the England team of the time- really interesting. My first game was 93 or 94 against Palace the year we were promoted, but I didn't start really going until 1998. I am 35 in a couple of months, so as you say, a couple of years younger than Those Feet but unfortunately came to football properly at the relatively late age of about 14.
I suppose with Dawson another question you might ask is: were he ten years younger would he be going to the world cup this summer? For me that's a yes. I think Dawson in his prime is better than several of the defenders we are taking, and in that sense he was unlucky to be playing in an era of genuinly great defenders like Terry and Ferdinand.
