Playing for England means everything to me.

I know it’s easy to say, but to wear the England shirt makes me feel extremely proud. I’m very patriotic and I’d never take it for granted.

So to captain England at a World Cup will be amazing and a real honour for me and my family.

  • Born: 28 Jul 1993
  • Club: Tottenham Hotspur
  • Debut: v Lithuania, 27 Mar 2015
  • Caps: 24
To captain England is probably every player’s dream and I’d be no different.

But I didn’t expect it to happen as quickly as it has. To be captaining England at 24 is amazing.

I’m obviously extremely proud but not much changes from my point of view. I’m still the same person, still the same player and we all know we’ve got a job to do.

The World Cup is something I want to look back on in the future and say that I enjoyed.

I don’t want to let it pass me by so I’ll do everything I can to make sure I enjoy the experience.
