    Get Involved - England's best strikerpublished at 11:39 British Summer Time 17 May 2016

    #bbcsportsday

    Harry Partridge: Vardy: years of mediocrity, then four months world class, then five months above average. He really isn't anything special.

    Fashola Michael: Harry Kane is the best choice for the number 9 role, he's young, quick & precise. Rooney no longer carries that threat.

    Tomsk: Kane and Vardy are way ahead of Rooney based on form. A fit Sturridge is still Eng's best striker though, genuine top quality.

    Sam: Sturridge's goals to games ratio is incredible, and he can produce a bit of magic from anywhere. Harshly treated by fans.

    Team America had it right. Nothing like a montage to inspire success.

    Manchester United under-21 coach Warren Joyce has revealed that a video compliation helped his side to the age-grade Premier League title.

    "We showed them a great video accompanied by the song 7 Years by Lukas Graham," he said.

    "So there were clips of when they were boys, winning tournaments at Under-12, Under-13 and Under-14 level.

    "We set them a question at the end of the video. Now you are 20 years old, what do you want to be remembered by? What is your story now? It couldn't have worked any better."
