Striker Development

BBC Sport takes an in-depth look at why England lack centre-forward options behind Harry Kane - a far cry from when the likes of Les Ferdinand only won 17 caps.

Welcome to Fan Debate, brought to you by Sky Bet. In this episode, Jamie Carragher is joined by Wayne Rooney and some of the biggest fan channels in the country to talk all things strikers past and present! Wayne looks back on the toughest defenders he faced during his career, including legends like John Terry and Paolo Maldini. Meanwhile, Jamie reflects on his own battles with top forwards, including what it was like to face Didier Drogba. The debate turns to the Premier League’s greatest ever striker. Spurs fan Flav argues that Harry Kane deserves more recognition, sparking a lively discussion among the panel. Wayne also shares how the role of the striker has changed over the years, from his early days at Everton to leading the line for Manchester United. He also offers insight into how he now helps strikers develop as a manager, and what he looks for when signing new forwards. If you enjoyed this episode, don’t forget to subscribe!
