Man City winger SWP chasing England place
Submitted by tribalfootball.com on Sat, 07/04/2009 - 00:31
Manchester City winger Shaun Wright-Phillips is determined to be a first-choice in England boss Fabio Capello's plans.
Wright-Phillips, now free from the knee injury that threatened to force him on to an operating table this summer, has set his sights on a place in England's World Cup squad in South Africa.
He admits that losing his berth in the 2006 party under Sven-Goran Eriksson, who put the then untried 17-year-old Theo Walcott ahead of him, was one of the low points of his career.
"I was gutted," he recalled. "I played a major part in the qualifying rounds because David Beckham was injured, and so to be left out was pretty confusing, but you learn something from those times in your career."

SWP is a great right winger...not the same class as Ronaldo or Beckham but i believe he can do the job for England...
