Friday 05 February 2010 at 16:30
 Next England Captain Odds are now available with SkyBet after John Terry was sacked from his England Captaincy following allegations about his private life in recent weeks.
Rio Ferdinand Backed Off The Boards To Be England Captain At World Cup
Rio Ferdinand has been extremely well backed already to replace Terry as England captain and he has just become odds on for the position, you can currently get 1/4 with SkyBet on Ferdinand being the Next England Captain. Ferdinand was 12/1+ last week but since the announcement that John Terry has been sacked he has been the one the punters have wanted to back. Next best option is Steven Gerrard, who is rated at 8/1 with SkyBet to be England’s captain against USA at the World Cup. Gerrard had been the favourite to get the job this morning if Terry was replaced but Ferdinand has jumped in front of him in the pecking order.
Wayne Rooney Could Be Too Young And Is Beckham Too Old
Wayne Rooney is now the joint second favourite despite his young age and strikers often not being made captain, Rooney can be backed at 8/1 with SkyBet and don’t forget Shearer was also a captain when playing as a striker. Frank Lampard would be a solid if unspectacular choice as captain and he is 10/1 with SkyBet, ahead of David Beckham, the former England captain, who is 20/1 with SkyBet to lead England at successive World Cups. Perhaps Terry could win his captaincy back, you can get 20/1 with SkyBet that any other player other than the ones quoted get the captaincy. For more England specials visit the SkyBet website.
