Being left out of a match day squad Hearing you’re not good enough.  Football is full of regrets and in this latest compilation episode of Football’s Greatest with Jeff Stelling, we hear some of our guests’ biggest ones from their careers. Former Australia keeper Mark Schwarzer explains how a move to Arsenal fell apart in 2010 and why it left him frustrated and upset with the Fulham manager Mark Hughes and the club’s owner. Brighton midfielder James Milner recalls how it felt to be subbed off by Fabio Capello after just 25 minutes of his first ever game at the World Cup in South Africa, how he managed to work his way back into the manager’s plans and his disappointment after the controversial defeat to Germany.  Jeff’s old Soccer Saturday pal Phil Thompson remembers how he discovered he wouldn’t be captaining England at the 1982 World Cup and why it left him so distraught. Matt Le Tissier talks about when he was left out of the 1998 World Cup squad by Glenn Hoddle, why Paul Gascoigne’s omission later left him hurting even more and how powerless he felt as England exited the tournament after losing to Argentina in a penalty shoot-out.
