Stand tall Harry ...for you have achieved more than any of the troll's and critics could ever dream of

HARRY MAGUIRE can stand tall, with his head held high, and reflect on his achievements as a professional footballer

None of the fans taunting him at Hampden Park the other night has ever played in a European Championship final or a World Cup semi-final.

None of the trolls on social media has ever captained Manchester United, one of the world's biggest football clubs, or been transferred for £80million as the most expensive defender on the planet.

And none of the hanging judges who lampoon and harpoon him with witless criticism has ever survived the merciless mickey-taking and one-liners in a dressing room full of egos.

Stick your chest out, Harry - because all that abuse masks a beautiful truth. All those critics, every single one of them, would love to be in your boots.

They only mock you, mimic you and make fun of you because, in your career, you have achieved more than any of them could ever imagine being possible.

None of them knows the dedication or the sacrifices you have made to play more than 500 games at club level, plus 59 England caps.
