Listen - England v USA - Shilton harbours friendly hopes

Peter Shilton interview!

With no Euro 2008 tournament to look forward to for England fans this summer, eyes will be cast over what Fabio Capello can come up with at Wembley in front of 70,000+ supporters as the USA arrive in North London for this international friendly.

John Terry's naming as skipper means it's back to normal for the national side, whilst Dean Ashton is likely to win his first cap by partnering Wayne Rooney in a likely move. The West Ham striker suffered heartbreak, and a leg break, the last time he was involved in the international set up, with an accidental injury in England training causing him to miss a year of action.

With the goalkeeping situation still under the microscope, who better to ask about the battle for the number 1 jersey than ex-England international and record cap holder for his country, Peter Shilton? The former stopper gives his thoughts on what he's hoping for the national side to achieve against Bob Bradley's men and defends Paul Robinson and Scott Carson for previous mishaps on the pitch, saying instead that in the face of reports claiming the number of Englishmen in the Premier League is at an all time low, we have a very healthy number of goalkeepers vying for the spot.
