Who should be the new England Captain?

John Terry has been stripped of the England captaincy, sources close to the defender have told BBC Sport. The 31-year-old Chelsea centre-back was informed of the decision by Football Association chairman David Bernstein in a phone call at 1000 GMT. He is due to stand trial in July over racial abuse allegations after an incident with QPR's Anton Ferdinand. So who should be the new captain? There are lots of options to pick from some are more obvious than others.

Sort of an in joke

My friend matt and I have an in joke as I seem to be completely unable to remember Stephens and Stevens. Although this one was accidental.

This is painful for a United fan,, but Gerrard should do it. Rio previously announced he won’t do it.

PHIL JONES?

Have you lost your damn mind man? He cant even defend let alone lead a national team! And seriously why would you not add either Joe Hart, Scott Parker, Gareth Barry, or Leighton Baines if you would even dare to think that Gary Cahill or Phil Jones could ever be a candidate!!?
