Re: End off an era
We don't always have a song for individual players. In James Tarkovsky's case my choice would've been "TARKY FOR ENGLAND!"
Whether or not he'll ever be back in the England squad remains to be seen, but it would make for a fitting and fond farewell chant for him to hear on Sunday.

He's been very strong between the sticks. "
