Former England boss Graham Taylor says that Liverpool midfielder Steven Gerrard should be the next Three Lions captain.

Former England manager Graham Taylor believes that Liverpool midfielder Steven Gerrard should be made the national side's new captain.

It was announced on Friday that John Terry had been stripped of the England captaincy and Taylor has stated that it was the correct decision.

"Steven Gerrard's been captain before and I'd expect Fabio Capello to give it to him. If he gets his top-class form back, I think I would do the same," Taylor told BBC Sport.

"This is the correct decision. The FA have got it right, though they'll be accused of getting it wrong. It's a recognition of the embarrassment that could be caused for both Terry and the England team."

Taylor managed England from 1990 to 1993.
