Manchester City defender Ben Mee is thrilled with his England U21 call-up.
Mee admits the selection surprised him.
"A friend called me up to say I'd been called up," Mee told City's website. "I didn't believe him so I put on Sky Sports and there it was.
"It was a different way to find out, I suppose because when I've played for England at other age levels I've usually had a letter, but I'm not complaining. I'm really chuffed because this is a big thing for me.
"There were several things I hoped to achieve this season and playing for City's first team and the Under-21s were at the top of the list, so I'm really happy."
