"There's different types of captains but I think the inspirational ones in the middle of the park, like Robson, like Gerrard, galvanize the team when they need galvanizing," said Reid.
"I think Steve Gerrard, when he has responsibility, is a better player. I'd give it [the England captaincy] to him, I think he's one of those that likes to lead from example. He's all action, he can get a goal, he can play from attack. If it was up to me it would Gerrard."
