Jamie Carragher claims that Liverpool teammate Steven Gerrard should be named as the new England captain.

Jamie Carragher has claimed that his Liverpool teammate Steven Gerrard should be the named as the new England captain.

The Three Lions are currently without a skipper following the Football Association's decision to strip John Terry of the captain's armband. Manager Fabio Capello resigned on Wednesday night after a dispute with the FA over their ruling.

"Maybe a new manager comes in and has different ideas. Who knows who the manager will be? He might see things differently, but for me Steven Gerrard is the stand-out captain, and that's not a biased verdict," Carragher told talkSPORT.

"He's been the captain of Liverpool for probably a decade. He's captained in Champions League finals, Europe, big Premier League games.

"He's also captained England in the last World Cup and he's one of England's best players. So, for me, I don't think there's a debate, if I'm being totally honest about it. [It should be] Steven Gerrard without a shadow of a doubt."

Gerrard has won 89 caps for the national side.
