Next Newcastle skipper?

Sir Bobby Robson knows only too well that it will take a brave man to
try and take the skipper's arm band off Alan Shearer, but has hailed
Jonathan Woodgate as a Newcastle United skipper-in-waiting and a
possible England captain of the future.

SIR BOBBY ROBSON: "Yes, there's no denying that he could one day
captain England. That's a strong possibility for Jonathan.

"He needs to settle in, find his feet, be comfortable, show authority
and show leadership qualities. But if he does all that, he's got
captaincy idiosyncrasies in him.

"Who knows? But that's not for me to decide. He can be captain of
this club first, although that's also in the future."
