SHILTON BACKS GREEN
England legend Peter Shilton believes Robert Green should wear the number one jersey when England kick off against the USA in their first World Cup match on Saturday.
The West Ham custodian is in a straight fight with Joe Hart and David James to be top of the team-sheet at Rustenburg at the weekend, with Shilton, England's most capped player, backing Green to be first choice.
He said: "'I just feel Rob Green is getting better, he has been consistent, he has actually played well for England recently and he hasn't fallen apart for West Ham in a season when they've really struggled.
"David James has had his chance, Joe Hart isn't really that experienced and Robert Green probably deserves his chance now.”
