Staying on the theme of International Captains and Larking About, brings us to Bryan Robson. Captain Marvel to his friends. He suffered some pretty rotten luck with World Cups, Kevin Keegans sponge-head sent him home from Espana 82, and a dislocated shoulder forced him home from Mexico 86 early. But he could have no one to blame but himself for the injury which saw him sent home from Italia 90. After an evenings japery with the likes of Chris Waddle, his mullet, and Paul Gascoigne, Robson decided that Gascoigne had been sat on his bed for way too long. Lifting the bed up (some feat considering Gazza was on it), Robson lost his grip and the leg of the bed landed nicely on his toe. Despite Gazzas medical nous Wash it in the bidet, Robson was forced to go home before the tournament started, and David Platt and Gazza established themselves as the lynchpins of the England midfield.
