England's greatest keeper, I'd say, and I don't think that's a controversial opinion at all. 

If you try and pick an all time England XI I think keeper is the only position that is easy to pick. Shilton and Seaman come close though.

I enjoy how Kevin Kilbane took to Twitter to be annoyed by someone switching their allegiances to a different country.

Kevin, of course, being from that famous Irish town of Preston.

Declan Rice was born in England and his mother is English iirc.

It was silly he was playing for Ireland in the first place.

ever looked at the birthplaces of a considerable amount of Irish international players? :P

There is a long history of Ireland calling up players who were born outside of Ireland but have Irish heritage. For a time Ireland's record goalscorer was Tony Cascarino, who could've played for England, Scotland or Italy - but not Ireland as it turned out :shifty:

Even in the most recent squad there were 11 players who were born in England.

This is the first time, that I recall, a player switching allegiances back though. The only other example I can remember was when Alex Bruce switched to Northern Ireland but nobody cared about that.
