Liverpool skipper Gerrard still excited playing for England

Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard says he still gets a buzz playing for England.

More than a decade of playing for his country has not diminished his appetite for representing the Three Lions.

Gerrard said: "I'm coming up to my 99th cap but I'm loving it as much as if it was my first.

"I've been around the set-up an awful long time. But I don't feel old, I'm not getting bored with it.

"I still feel fresh, looking forward to tomorrow's game as much as my debut.

"Every time you put the England shirt on it is a proud moment and to get 99 is a fantastic achievement for myself.

"But it will only be a good memory for me if we get the three points tomorrow night."
