After returning to England with Liverpool
during the 1997 close season, having been with Inter Milan for the previous
two years, the imposing central midfielder began to grow into the role
of club skipper throughout 1997-98, toning down his impetuosity, and channelling
his aggressive and competitive streak to the good of the team. A regular
international, and proud to be in France with England's World Cup squad
as we go to print, he scored an impressive eight goals for Liverpool during
the campaign, including an equaliser against Everton, and two in the 4-0
win over Arsenal, both games being at Anfield. A midfield bundle of energy,
he is both constructive and destructive in breaking up attacks and setting
counter attacks in motion. Stop Press: Played in all four of England's
World Cup games in France '98 and certainly enhanced his reputation with
a battling display against Argentine. Down to ten men for 73 minutes, the
side eventually went out of the competition following the penalty shoot-out,
which saw both Paul and David Batty failing to strike the target.
