Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer has backed Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere's stand over English player qualifications.
Shearer, the former England striker and now a BBC pundit, offered support for Wilshere last night.
"I totally understand that the game has evolved but I'm of the belief that just because you've lived in this country for five or six years, it doesn't mean that you can be playing in the English national team,' he said. "I was also of the opinion when we had a foreign manager that there were enough English managers out there to have done an equal, if not better, job than the foreign managers we had in.
"Yeah, I'm of the opinion that to be English and be playing for England you should be born in England."
