Trad. The problem with your selection is your midfielders are all attacking midfielders. Funny I'm also struggling to think of any decent defensive midfielders might explain our recent lack of medals.
Anyway

Never a big Neville fan really but while there have been a few with potential I can't think of a great English RB that I have seen that would take his place...
Gary Stevens was miles better than Neville.
Trad, how can you put Seamen in goal??? I know that it is subjective, but really, Shilton, Banks, Clemence etc are far better - personally would have Shilton. Seamen is better than those that came after him, but to me far weaker than those that preceded him. I think that he was adequate but not great, and it is an area that has been a problem for England. Hopefully with Hart it might be better. Thinking about it, one of the reasons that I think that the old keepers were better, is that they caught the ball. These days everything is parried away - maybe that is because the ball moves around a lot more, but still they should catch things once in a while!
It is interesting to see Keegan can't get a place and that there seems to be no one (yet) in there pre 1980s.
Trad said it had to be players we have seen and whatever Trad says... I can't remember much pre 80s, post 1970 weren't we more crap then we are now? Anyway, you oldies can always join in.
Seaman was great really but just lost it in his last days and that seems to have stuck with him. The last of a long line of good English keepers.

Just looking at Saints opening games, we will need some of these legends to get their boots on.
“When I am in the minority, I will demand equality, because those are your values. When I become the majority, I will take away your equality, because those are my values.”
Yeah, Seaman could never keep a clean sheet.
