Man City defender Walker dubbed 'the greatest English full-back we've ever had'

Former Liverpool midfielder Danny Murphy has declared Manchester City defender Kyle Walker as England's greatest.

Walker, 32, has fought his way back into City's starting XI in recent weeks.

Murphy said: "People talk about his positional play, I think that's the main thing that's improved in the last couple of seasons.

"He doesn't only spot the danger when he gets the ball, like most City players, he's nice and confident, plays out.

"He's really hard to play against. He's arguably the greatest English full-back we've ever had."
