In Pictures: Robert Green’s Golf Day – And Why England Loves Him

ROBERT Green knows what Kermit means. It’s not easy. But it is easies now for his England teammates. Green has made the first clanger. The rest of the squad can rest easy When they make mistake – miss penalty; gets sent off; skew a sitter into the cheap seats – they will not stand out so much. They will just in Green’s gang. Green is the team mascot now. He is every England player’s favourite. John Terry – what shags? Ashley Cole – what singer’s husband? Wayne Rooney – what the ****-***t you *a**-**c*-j***-fa****-****!?” Fabio Crapello – first one to spot “Crapello” in the mainstream media wins” – can wink at Green.

Green has permitted all manner of sin. And he has allowed the rest of the squad to relax. England fans, raise a glass to Sir Robert Green – and take care you don’t drop it…
