West Ham keeper Green: I will never be outright England No1

West Ham United goalkeeper Robert Green doesn't regard himself as England's No1.

Green looks set to start in goal when the Three Lions kick off their World Cup campaign against the USA on June 12.

But the Hammers ace insists he will never take his position for granted - especially with the likes of David James and Joe Hart breathing down his neck.

Green, 30, told Zoo magazine: "I'd never say I was England's No1, not until there wasn't a goalkeeper left wearing gloves and an England shirt anywhere in the world.

"It's strange, although it sounds great on a personal level.

"But I take it with a pinch of salt because whoever isn't in goal for England is usually the man people want."
