Hi

<"A gentleman? Has there been one since Stanley Matthews? ">

I would nominate Neil Franklin.

He was a great player, some say the best centre-half that ever played for England. He played with Matthews at Stoke and with Tom Finney surely another gentleman??

A modern day player I consider to be a gentleman is Manchester City's Vincent Kompany. And I am a Man United supporter.

Cheers
