Where's the pride in the shirt?

Former England international Austin Healey, in his column for the Daily Mirror, reflects on his emotions when England were dumped out of the World Cup in 1999.

"Nobody needs to tell me emotions run high when you play for England and are dumped out of the World Cup in the quarter-finals.

I know, I experienced it in 1999. Twelve years on I still remember the way I felt at that moment my dream died.

And I'll tell you something, it wasn't 'There's £35,000 just gone down the toilet'. I sat on a bench on my own for a good 20 minutes and cried. "
