Barwick: captain must be right

Barwick: captain must be right

27 January 2008 - 17:13

FA Chairman Brian Barwick has outlined the importance of the captain for England and Fabio Capello's first major decision since being appointed as the England boss.

  • Chelsea to move for former Arsenal goalkeeper?
  • Former Chelsea boss to replace Erik ten Hag at Man Utd?

  • "A new era has started with the arrival of Fabio Capello and one of the most important early decisions he will have to make will be to decide who is going to be his captain," Barwick told the News of the World.



    "It will be his decision and his alone, but this is one of the things that Trevor Brooking and I have helped him with.



    "There isn't that degree of importance laid at the door of captains of other countries, but Fabio is aware of the importance of this decision.



    "Trevor and I have told him the captaincy, currently held by John Terry, is a very significant part of the English sporting and social fabric."
