    Terry Butcher was a guest at one of Ronnies Nike soccer schools back in the 90s.

    He did a Q&A session and he said he had so many request for tickets from family and friends for England games that he had to buy tickets for them out of his own pocket.

    He said even though he was paid to play he was always out of pocket when he played for England.
