Portsmouth boss Harry Redknapp has hit out at the nation's young players.
In 'England Expects', to be shown tomorrow night on ITV1, Redknapp says: "I don't know where you find the top English players at the moment.
"It was only ten years ago when I used to go and watch our youth team every Saturday morning. I am seeing Ferdinand and Lampard, I'm seeing Defoe and Carrick, I'm seeing Johnson.
"They've all become top players, but I don't see any at the moment. It's getting more and more difficult.
"Even years ago you could go into the non-league and pick up players. But where are the Les Ferdinands? Where are the Stuart Pearces, where are the Ian Wrights? They all came out of non-league football.
"It might sound old-fashioned but we had nothing else to do but play football. That was our lives. We grew up playing football. That was all we knew. We came home from school and we played football.
Now there are a million other things for them to do. They come into the clubs now and I don't think they work hard enough.
"They get in at 15 or 16. They don't spend enough time practising. They want the big cars now and they all want to be superstars, but I don't know how many of them really want to work hard enough to do it. That's how society is now."
