If like Kane we're including one-off captaincies it's Scott Parker in 2012. If we're talking about permanently named captains (which obviously Kane isn't just yet), it'd be Gary Lineker at the start of the 90s.
Was Robbo ever captain?
I don't believe so, no.Was Robbo ever captain?
Judas was never permanent captain, but like Scott Parker did cover for a few matches while Alan Shearer was unavailable during his stint. A couple of years back he made a massive media stink about this, claiming he would've been permanent captain for a decade if he was white.I think sol was captain, but must have been while at them lot.
The greatest captain England never had.Ledley was vice captain and was meant to captain england at the 2010 wc after terry got flogged off but he got injured. Doesn't answer your question but it was interesting at the time.

Scott Parker was captain of England while at Spurs. It was for one game.
I think Judas would've made a terrible captain no matter his race. No loyalty, no self-awareness, and a huge victim complex. He's the last man you'd ever want leading the dressing room. But I do agree race would've been an issue even if he was otherwise suitable: I think a perfectly qualified black candidate in the late 90s would have likely been overlooked.Yes I remember! I always felt it was a dig at Eriksen and McLaren, because John Terry was not as good and yet got preferential treatment. And, was fairly old school in his attitude, as Anton Ferdinand would attest. Not much of a reach to have manager and captain like-minded. Its been spun horribly as Sol playing the victim but actually I think he had a point in this single case

Did Woodgate ever captain England?
