Former England captain Terry Butcher has backed Gareth Southgate to land the England job on a permanent basis, claiming he would bring dignity and class to the managers position. Southgate was asked to step up from his role as England Under-21 boss after Sam Allardyces controversial exit in September.The 46-year-old was tasked with overseeing four matches and his temporary spell in charge will come to an end following the upcoming fixtures against Scotland and Spain. Speaking to Sky Sports News HQ from St Georges Park, Butcher said: Id like to see him [Southgate] get the job on a permanent basis because he invited me to lunch today! But apart from that, I think he is the right man for the job. Terry Butcher would love to see Gareth Southgate take the England job long term Without a shadow of a doubt, he has got the tactical knowledge to work with players and younger players especially.He has prepared England for tournaments and qualification matches, hes got good experience as a club manager and obviously his experience as a player is very good as well.I think he adds a bit of dignity and class to the England managers position and the players like him as well. You can see that from the way they train and the mood around St Georges Park, added the 57-year old. Eight players underwent individual training ahead of Englands game against Scotland on Friday Butcher, who won 77 senior caps for England, was assistant manager to George Burley in 2008 during Scotlands World Cup 2010 qualifying campaign.Having represented the Three Lions on six occasions against Scotland during his international career, the former central defender knows only too well what it is like to face a home nation. Harry Kane, Theo Walcott and Jack Wilshere were among the England players to miss their training session on Tuesday morning He said: It still has the same appeal, particularly because it is a World Cup Qualifier. The previous two friendlies have been very competitive and intense but theyve been just friendlies.I think when it comes to a World Cup Qualifier and all that is at stake, I think it heightens the importance of the game.Also See:England latestNine England players train aloneCottee: Englands options worryingSouthgate out to channel GazzaVapormax Sale Outlet .

And much of his spare time, especially during summers and on Sundays, was spent around the Jaguars.Luke and Jack played catch often on the practice field, and the elder Del Rio even has a picture of them sharing a moment after the Jaguars beat Denver -- along with then-backup quarterback and former Florida star Tim Tebow -- in the 2010 season opener in Jacksonville.That was one of the special moments in my coaching career just being able to have my son there, had a big hug and embraced after the game and just a good moment, Jack Del Rio recalled last week.With the Raiders staying in Florida to train before playing at Tampa Bay on Sunday, Del Rio plans to return to Jacksonville for his sons first Florida-Georgia game.Yeah, its really awesome the whole deal with Luke, the coach said.
