A nice little article on George Green making the England U/18 squad with some positive quotes from Kevin Sheedy:

George Green has been rewarded for his sparkling form for Everton so far this season with an England U-18s call-up.

The 17-year-old forward, who was signed from Bradford City two years ago in a headline-grabbing move ahead of interest from Liverpool and Fulham, scored a hat-trick in Kevin Sheedy’s side’s 3-1 away win over West Brom on Saturday.

Green slotted home two penalties either side of a superb individual strike from 25 yards to help the young Blues maintain their excellent recent run which has propelled them to second in the table with two games in hand on league leaders Manchester United.

Green, who has also featured for Everton’s U-21s this term, is a second year scholar with the Blues, and his recent form has impressed Sheedy.

He said: “He is playing regularly and having an impact in games by scoring goals and showing his undoubted potential.

“He’s also training well and has worked hard. We know he is a good player and now he’s performing at the level we expect of him and we hope that can now continue. Hopefully this is just the start and there is plenty more to come from him.

“The England U-18 selection will give him a big boost.”

Green has been playing in a free role for the Toffees, drifting in from the left hand side and Sheedy added: “We want to get him on the ball as much as possible in games and causing trouble for opposition defences.

“But also he is buying into the strong team ethic we have here which is very important. We were pleased with the performance from all our lads on Saturday although West Brom kept pushing and we have played better this season.”

Nice article there, good to hear some more positives on this lad! Been hearing so many good things for the last two years I forget he's still only 17!


Also, the advert generated for this page on GoT on my phone is for boat insurance. That makes me so happy.
 

It was Spurs yeah. He went to Liverpool on trial but didn't feel wanted there (he makes a point of that everytime we play them :lol: )

Greg only posts titbits on the U18s so there's always a few errors in his articles.
