Reacting to Goldstein's quartet, he asked: “So there's no Scholesy? No Ryan Giggs? 'It's Becks.'” That's not an answer. No, where is Paul Scholes?
As his co-host tried to justify his decision, Bent continued: “Honestly. 'He's Becks,' mate. That's not an answer. 'He's Becks.' About Wazza (Wayne Rooney).”
He even added, “You're…honestly. Becks would even put Wazza in there.”
This prompted Goldstein to joke, “Hey, listen. You know I want to get an invite to Becks' 50th birthday party.”
Bent then concluded: “No, but honestly, come on. No Wazza.
“He is the all-time record goalscorer at his club and he is not on Mount Rushmore.”

Bent, an Arsenal supporter, named his Gunners Mount Rushmore and chose legendary manager Arsene Wenger, record goalscorer Thierry Henry and the man who previously held the club's record, Ian Wright.
