Johnny Nic ponders what’s so great about Gareth while recognising that one day, the tide will turn against Southgate. It always does…
Who’s this then?
Gareth Southgate (always Gareth, never Gary) is a six-foot-tall former centre-half for Crystal Palace, Aston Villa and Middlesbrough. He played 638 club games and scored 35 goals, as well as gaining 57 caps for England. His playing career lasted from 1990 to 2006.
At Palace he was a right-back and a midfielder before settling into the centre-half role and became club captain in 1993, leading the side to win the second tier, stupidly called the First Division at the time. When they got relegated in 1995, after 191 games and five years, he moved to Aston Villa for £2.5 million, for a further six years, winning the League Cup in his first season there.

Dermot Carmody A visit to this year’s Little Museum Of Dublin exhibition Italia 90 And Jack Charlton (before the museum’s activities were curtailed by lockdown measures) reminded us not just of the sad departure in July of an English and Irish football giant, but of a very different summer 30 years ago.
In many ways it is hard to imagine a greater contrast in mood and atmosphere in Dublin summers than that between the summer this year and that of 30 years ago in 1990. Look at the front page of The Irish Times for the 1st of July 2020 and, as has been the case for much of this year, the news is dominated by Covid and the uncertainty, fear and anxiety associated with the pandemic which have affected the city and the country.
