Upon taking on the job as coach of the Under 21's, he was an unprecedented success and soon enough he was promoted to coach of the senior side. Against all odds, David Platt led England to the World Cup final in 2002, where they beat Saudi Arabia 7-2 in the final.

And did **** all here but spend £12m of Doughty's money on 3 Wops - and to this day we are still suffering because he's never trusted another manager with his money and that is why we have we have a bunch of fcuking idiots calling themselves "The Acquisition Panal"

Try 5 million and you will be alot closer to how much the 3 Italians cost, hardly alot of cash for 3 players by Premiership standards even then.

Even less than that from what I can find on the net.

Gianluca Petrachi - £1.2 million
Salvatore Matrecano - £1.2 million
Moreno Mannini - FREE

So Platt must spunked a lot of cash on other players... Not that I remember them. Unless this whole thing is just a myth.
