Been looking on wiki, Sexton was in charge of England U21 for 15 years including the time he was Man Utd and later Cov manager. More surprisingly there is a building in Kenilworth where he lived for many years that bears his name.
I wouldn't write Ellis Simms off, he has scored a few goals in the Premier League, I also think he is improving, his hold up play has been quite good in recent appearances and it was quite poor early last season.
