Brooking hails English effort

Trevor Brooking believes the fact that there were eight English players in the Professional Footballers’ Association team of the season shows the future is bright for the English team.

Despite the increasing number of foreign players in the Barclays Premiership, John Terry was named player of the year and included in the top 11 along with Gary Neville, Rio Ferdinand, Ashley Cole, Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard, Shaun Wright-Phillips and Andrew Johnson.
