Former England goalkeeper Gordon Banks believes it is too early to throw Manchester City youngster Joe Hart into the World Cup fray.

As England boss Fabio Capello continues to wrestle with which shot-stopper he will use in South Africa, the 1966 World Cup-winning gloveman says it has to be between Robert Green and David James as Hart is simply too inexperienced.

"I think Mr Capello has got a very hard choice between James and Green," Banks told BBC Sport.

"I don't think Hart would come into it in this moment in time because he hasn't played a full match for England and to thrust him in at a World Cup would be a little bit wrong to be honest.

"Our goalkeepers are much of a muchness.

"They make fantastic saves but then again they may make the odd error."
