    Are you seriously bracketing Wiseman with the likes of Stones? Gibraltar are ranked 196th in the World and Scotland are 45th. Stones is a current international for England who are ranked as 4th best in the World. At 76 I could probably get a game for Gibraltar.

    Steady on, fella.

    The only player I’d seriously bracket Wiseman with is fellow international Deon Burton - himself a full international with 62 caps for Jamaica.

    The point is, it’s perhaps oversimplistic to look just at the number of international caps a player won as a measure of his quality. After all, Carlton Palmer won 18 caps for England and he’s not fit to clean Ronnie’s boots.

    Happy Birthday Ronnie.
    Best player I have seen in our shirt, yes there are other close runners, but none of them created that same electric atmosphere in the ground that he did when he set off on one of his runs.
    Still one of my happiest memories playing against him in a friendly, still kicking myself I never got his autograph in those pre selfie days!
