Capello, who was speaking to England team sponsors Nationwide Building 
Society, commented:
===========================================================================
Nationwide:     Who do you think will win 2008?

Fabio:              I would narrow it down to four teams.  France - very 
good team very solid players.  Germany - never amongst the favourites 
but they are always there when it matters.  Italy - I think they are 
close as well and the team that has got the better players on paper are 
Spain.

Nationwide:     Who do you think is the player of the season in the 
English Premier League?

Fabio:              It would be a tough decision between Ronaldo and 
Torres and to these two players I would add another player who has had a 
fantastic season even though he is tired now and that’s Fabregas.

Nationwide:     In your opinion who is the greatest goalkeeper of all time?

Fabio:              Lets start with Yashin, then move on to Gordon Banks 
then finish with Zoff.

Nationwide:     And similarly who is the greatest Striker of all time?

Fabio:              In recent years Marco Van Basten who I managed. I 
would say Cruyff as well but was he a striker? He was a bit of a total 
player so Marco Van Basten.

Nationwide:     And finally Fabio, the Best English Player to have 
played in Italy?

Fabio:              Francis, the striker who played for Sampdoria, 
Trevor Francis

Trevor Francis’ response:

“This is news to me but it’s the kind of news that I delighted to 
receive.  I regard it, as coming from some so successful as a manager 
and player as Fabio Capello, as a fantastic honour and would like to 
thank Fabio for making those comments.”
