Who'll strike for England? SHOOT spotlights Hirst's main rivals

""It'~~lIifficult to say whether David would

have ,,!ade a difference but I know that he
w'ould certainly have given it a go.
"He is a very positive person, very single
minded in the way that he approaches his job.
Y.here~re always going to be goals or goal
chances when David is around.
"It is a shame for England that he missed the
tournament through injury but I'm sure he has
a big international future.
"With Lineker retiring the door is open for
someone to step in and make the place his
own ,my money is on David to do justthat."
