Chelsea whiz George McEachran: Josh happy for me after U17 World Cup triumph

Chelsea midfielder George McEachran says older brother Josh was delighted for him after winning the U17 World Cup with England.

Former Blues starlet Josh McEachran, now with Brentford, won the 2010 U17 Euros with England.

"I texted him quite a lot throughout the tournament and video-called him a few times as well," George told chelseafc.com.

"He was just saying how proud he was of me and telling me to keep working hard. I listened to him and took that on board, though since we came home I've had to tell him that my World Cup medal beats his Euros one!"

On the triumph, he added: "We had belief that we were a good team and had a lot about us, which we showed in all the games we played."
