Scary thing is that every couple of years or so, we see the 'next big thing' emerge in the Ockers backline, only to somewhat fade away and make way for another wonderkid to threaten the records at a frighteningly young age. Bit like a biennial cycle, whereas we've only just seen the emergence of a new generation of three quarters, even halfbacks, in the England squad.
