Man Utd legend Ince surprised by Campbell claims

Manchester United legend Paul Ince is surprised by Sol Campbell's England claims.

The former Arsenal and Tottenham defender insists he was overlooked for the England captaincy because of the colour of his skin.

Ince, who captained the Three Lions, told the Daily Mail: "There's been me, Adams, Pearce, Seaman, Shearer, Terry, Ferdinand... that's a lot of big names with a lot of big egos.

"Sol's a clever, articulate man and he's a friend of mine but he wouldn't have been England captain for 10 years - nobody is.

"He has obviously had different experiences to me as a footballer and I can only really talk about my own."
