Everton keeper coach Woods full of praise for Man City's Hart

Everton goalkeeper coach Chris Woods is a big fan of Manchester City No1 Joe Hart.

Whatever problems confront England in the countdown to Euro 2012 - and the absence of a permanent manager is currently one - who wears the No1 jersey is not one of them.

"I like the way Joe plays with a smile on his face and he doesn't let things get to him," Woods, who won 43 England caps, told the Daily Express. "He seems to be enjoying himself.

"It is easy to say that but, when you are out there in that position and with that amount of pressure, you don't see many goalkeepers able to have a laugh. It shows someone who is confident in his ability and happy."
