Rio Ferdinand doesn't want the job; John Mottson is holding a campaign to appoint Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart; but Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard is favourite.
However ... Tottenham goalkeeper Brad Friedel says Scott Parker would make a perfect England captain.
Brad Friedel: "Joe Hart has the mentality to be a captain, but you've also got with England two ready-made captains in Steven Gerrard and Scotty Parker.
"Could Joe do the job? Absolutely. Joe is a magnificent goalkeeper with a great head on his shoulders. But you have got Scott Parker and Steven Gerrard that are tremendous players.
"Playing with Scotty for the last six months or so you can see, whether he has the captain's armband or not, he is going to be a captain.
"He is a top pro around the club, he lives his life right, and on the pitch he covers in front of the back four the best that I have played with.
"When the right or left-back go forward, he is always looking at the gaps that he can cover and the amount of metres he covers in games are immense."
