England legend Shilton urges West Brom keeper Foster to end exile

England legend Peter Shilton has urged West Bromwich Albion goalkeeper Ben Foster to end his England exile.

Shilton - who won 125 caps between 1970 and 1990 - would love to see West Brom's on-loan stopper Foster make himself available for England duties again.

"Joe Hart could win a lot of caps for England. You need a bit of luck through injuries, but he is in at an early age and there is not a lot pushing him at the moment. Unless Foster comes back, you never can tell, certainly he could be there for a while,' said Shilton.

"Hart has done really well to get there, and I still think Rob Green deserves to be part of the set-up because he obviously had the one big misfortune [in the World Cup against USA], but you can't judge him on one game.

"I would like to see Foster come back in and put some pressure on, and after that there is a few with potential."
