Steven Gerrard has called on England's big players to step forward on what could be a defining moment in their England careers. Gerrard finds similarities between tomorrow’s Moscow clash and Euro 2004 qualifier draw away to Turkey four years ago, which put England through

  • Chelsea join Liverpool & Man Utd in race to sign 26yo
  • Barcelona identify Arsenal midfielder as key transfer target

  • The stand-in captain has said: "I don’t know if you can say this is the type of game that can define your career, but it is certainly one of those games that if we get the result that we want we can look back on in years to come with a bit of pride.



    "I look back on the (5-1) win over Germany (in 2001), the draw in Turkey, games like that, and they are big nights, for big players and leaders to step forward. That is what we are going to need again.



    "There are parallels with this game and Istanbul. We gave everything we had and came through that night and the feeling now is similar."
