Tottenham Hotspur defender http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Kyle-Walker-c21566 continues to make headlines as the player eagerly awaits a starting spot in Roy Hodgson’s starting 11 that will face San Marino for the WC qualifiers.
This time, the player has heaped praise upon http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Phil-Jagielka-c29902 and said that it will be a dream come true for him to be picked alongside the centre-back.
The attacking right-back has been the centre of attention as England prepare for their upcoming Group H fixture against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/San-Marino-c2998 at the Wembley. The English will be hoping for a victory on their home turf as they hope to qualify for the World Cup 2014.
Walker, who made his debut for the English national side in an international friendly against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Glen-Johnson-c15050 at right-back.
The player has only made one start for the Three Lions, which came back in November of last year. Walker was expected to feature for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749’s Euro 2012 campaign, but was ruled out on account of a toe injury.
The player also missed the London Olympics back in July, but was given assurances by national team manager Roy Hodgson that he remains a part of his long term plans.
Earlier, Walker spoke about securing a permanent spot in the starting 11 for England, and later he praised the influence http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gary-Neville-c14447 has had on his development.
The player has now praised Phil Jagielka, and admitted that the player was a strong influence on him during his early playing days.
Walker said that being in the same team as the man he grew up idolizing was an honour and a privilege.
"Phil Jagielka was a hero of mine," Walker said. "I didn't have a poster of him in my room or anything. I wasn't that bad. But I've never told him. I hope his head doesn't grow too big, but just to eat dinner with him is an honour for me.”
"Sometimes he tries to go and get me some soup. Instinctively I say: 'You can't be getting me that. Let me get you some soup'."
