Ex- Fulham man Danny Muprhy has blasted England U17s behaviour after winning the U17 World Cup, branding it "wrong" that some players turned their shirts round to display their names.

England came back from two goals down to beat Spain 5-2, with Fulham's very own Steven Sessegnon providing two assists in the final as well as clearing off the line.

The young star had a good tournament, claiming a place in the final group game against Iran and subsequently starting in every game therein, reminding everyone just how good the Sessegnon twins are.

However, Murphy, whose goal at Portsmouth in 2008 completed the Great Escape, has created debate on the scenes after the game, where some members of the side turned their shirts round to display their names instead of the England badge on the front.

Speaking on talkSPORT , Murphy said: “There’s no England badge in the picture of them winning the World Cup – for me, that’s wrong.

“They’ve all turned their shirts around because they want their names across their chests, so everybody across the world can see who they are.

They can do it: Danny Murphy

“They’re all saying, ‘I’m a good young player coming through, look at me’, but that in itself is what is wrong with society.

“In effect, they’re thinking about fame as well as being a footballer and I think it creates a big debate here.

“I thought the way they played was amazing and the way they’ve been coached has been fantastic and Steve Cooper deserves great credit.

“Some of those players could go on to be superstars. We’re talking some amazing talent in that group and the freedom they played with, everybody should be happy to see that in an England shirt, and I am too, I was proud of them.

“But the England badge not being in that picture says a lot.

“The fact they want their names to be on the front of their shirts and think about getting their name out there so people know who they are – they are not wrong, but it’s what is wrong at the moment.”
