Tottenham captain Ledley King says he would love to go to the World Cup with England.

King's chronic knee problem prevents him from being a permanent fixture in the Spurs side but he still hopes to resurrect his international career.

"It would be a dream to pull on that England shirt again, and what player would ever turn that down?" he told Hotspur magazine.

"But there's only one place where that starts and that's here at Tottenham, and I need to play first and then well, so they're the two things that I always concentrate on.

"Do that, and the rest takes care of itself.

"I'm quite philosophical about whether the call will come.

"All you can do is play your football. You've got to make sure you play well and if you do then you give yourself a chance."
