In a fresh interview, Phillips spoke of his admiration for Gerrard and fellow former Three Lions icon Paul Gascoigne – but admits the eternal Liverpool captain tips the scales.
“It is hard to say [which former England player I’d like to bring back], some of the players I have watched over the years… I would love to play in midfield with [Steven] Gerrard,” the Leeds star said, via Vital Football.
“I would love to play in midfield with Paul Gascoigne [too] – I think I would have Gerrard or Gascoigne.”

“I know we have got a person who looks similar to Gascoigne now in the squad in Phil [Foden],” Phillips joked, referring to the Manchester City starlet’s newly-dyed hair.
“I feel like if I had to choose between them, I am going to go with Steven Gerrard, just because I grew up watching him and have seen how well he has done over the years with Liverpool and with England.”
