"Scared?""I got through Euro 96, Bear. I'm not scared of ANYTHING"Bear's Mission with @GarethSouthgate Tonight 9pm @ITV @BearGrylls pic.twitter.com/oUffY9cGam— ITV (@ITV) December 20, 2018People used to poke their heads out of vans and shout things at me in the street. I had a 20-year playing career but I was really only ever remembered for that one moment. That’s what made this summer even better because I felt like I had a debt to pay.When I look back, we didnt really have support for those sorts of things. It was a kind of fend for yourself. Youve got to deal with those things and youve got to come through them and make sure you dont allow those things to shape you. Southgate steered England to their best performance at a World Cup in 28 years in the summer before they were knocked out by Croatia.The England boss also outlined his ambitious plans for his young squad heading forward after capturing the imagination of the nation in Russia.
