Hull skipper Barmby backs Bullard for England recall

Hull City captain Nicky Barmby reckons Jimmy Bullard is good enough to break back into the England squad.

Bullard, 31, is back in action after nine months out with a career-threatening knee injury.

And ex-England winger Barmby, 35, said: "If Jimmy were to cap his comeback by earning an England call-up, it would be a fantastic achievement.

"Fabio Capello already knows all about him but he would be more than welcome to come up to Humberside and take another look."
