Former England captain Terry Butcher has saluted “perfect” manager Gareth Southgate as he attempts to end the nation’s 55-year wait for international glory. Speaking as he lent his support to a Well Pharmacy campaign to tackle social anxiety in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, the former central defender told the PA news agency: “If you’re looking for role models, he’s perfect; if you’re looking for how to be a manager, he’s perfect. He’s at the top of his game at the top of the tree and I like him, I really do. He said: “That’s really important for Gareth to continue his good work and make England serial finalists, make England serial winners if that’s possible.
