12. Robert GREEN |
Robert Paul Green (born 18 January 1980) is an English footballer who currently plays for West Ham United in the English Premier League and internationally for England as a goalkeeper.
Thank you Wikipedia for this information Green earned his first call-up to the full England squad while at Norwich[15] and a year later became the sixth Norwich player in history to wear the Three Lions when he appeared as a substitute against Colombia in the United States.[16] Green remained in the England squad despite Norwich having been relegated to the Coca Cola Championship in 2005 and was selected for the England 2006 World Cup squad.[17] However, he ruptured his groin whilst taking a goal kick during the England B international against Belarus on 25 May.[18] He was replaced in the squad by Liverpool's Scott Carson.[19] The injury not only meant that Green missed the World Cup but also the start of the 2006–07 season.[20] After a prolonged absence from the international scene, Green was called up for the England "B" match in May 2007[21] and then named in the senior England squad to face Brazil and Estonia in June 2007.[22] Green did not make Fabio Capello's first England team in February 2008. Green showed a sense of humour about the international situation, sporting gloves with 'England's No.6' embroidered on them.[23] He was recalled to the squad by Fabio Capello in place of the injured Chris Kirkland for England's friendly with France on 26 March 2008.[24] On 12 February 2009, Green earned his 2nd cap, coming on as a second half substitute during England's 0–2 defeat to Spain in Seville. On 6 June 2009 Green made his first England start in their 4–0 win in Almaty against Kazakhstan in a World Cup qualifying game.[25] He played for England against Croatia on 9 September 2009 with England securing a place in South Africa with a 5–1 victory. On 10 October 2009, he became the first ever England goalkeeper to be sent off, during the penultimate game of qualification against Ukraine, for a professional foul on Artem Milevskiy early in the game. England went on to lose 1–0.[26][27] |
