Rod Wallace, David White and Brian Deane have been named in the England
squad for the forthcoming friendly against Spain in Santander.
Paul Gascoigne will travel with the team but not as a member of the
official squad and there is no place for Neil Webb and Keith Curle.
Nottingham Forest left-back Stuart Pearce has been named as captain in
succession to Gary Lineker.  "Stuart has great experience. When he
looks you in the eye and talks to you, you know what he is saying is the
truth," Taylor said.

Paul Gascoigne must wait to make his return to the international scene after
Graham Taylor decided not to risk him in next week's friendly against Spain.
There had been speculation that he might make his comeback after a
16-month knee injury lay-off by playing part of the match at Santander.
But manager Taylor said: "When I went over to see him train with Lazio he had
a thigh strain so there was never any prospect of him playing."
Taylor hopes Lazio will however allow Gascoigne to travel to Spain and
possibly join in the training.

The two newcomers to the international arena in Graham Taylor's squad are both
wingers - Rod Wallace and David White.  Several players who missed the European
Championship finals in Sweden in the summer are also included.
Right-backs Lee Dixon and Rob Jones are both restored after injury along with
central defender Mark Wright.  Arsenal duo Tony Adams and Ian Wright
are both recalled along with Sheffield United striker Brian Deane.
David Hirst, Paul Parker, Gary Stevens and Paul Stewart are all out injured.

Liverpool striker Dean Saunders' proposed move to Aston Villa is on hold
due to the clubs not being able to agree on a fee.
It is understood that Villa failed to meet Liverpool's #2.5m valuation for
the striker they bought from Derby County for #2.9m last summer.
Liverpool chief executive Peter Robinson confirmed Saunders had
discussed personal terms with Villa.  But Villa boss Ron Atkinson said: "The
clubs have not reached an agreement but no doubt there will be further
discussions on Wednesday."

Tuesday Results:

LIVERPOOL        1-1 SOUTHAMPTON
Wright 60            Dixon 51

Liverpool escaped with a point after Kerry Dixon had threatened to give
Southampton three points with his first goal for The Saints.
Matthew Le Tissier floated the ball over a static Liverpool rearguard and
Dixon stormed in unmarked to sidefoot the ball home on 51 minutes.
Liverpool equalised nine minutes later when former Saint Mark Wright headed
home from Jan Molby's free kick.  Southampton had the chances to win it and 
former Reds striker David Speedie was denied a winner by the crossbar.

OLDHAM           2-2 LEEDS UTD
Olney 85, 90         Cantona 54, 77

Two goals in the last five minutes by Ian Olney gave Oldham a point from a
game they looked to have lost.  Eric Cantona put Leeds ahead on 54
minutes when he finished a goalmouth scramble from eight yards.
The French ace struck again 14 minutes from time when he latched on to a Gary
McAllister pass and slipped the ball under Jon Hallworth.
Olney volleyed his first goal for his new club from eight yards and then
edged home Richard Jobson's injury time header to earn The Latics a point.
