Wickham Models England Kit - Ipswich Town News

Town striker Connor Wickham is one of 11 players modelling the new England kit on the FA’s website. The England senior side will wear the new strip for the first time on Friday when they face Bulgaria in their opening Euro 2012 qualifier.

England U17 international Wickham isn’t the only non-senior player featured alongside the likes of Wayne Rooney, Theo Walcott, Adam Johnson and Joe Hart, Jade Bailey, a 14-year-old England Women’s U17, Eric Dier, a 16-year-old defender in Sporting Lisbon’s youth set-up and Arsenal’s Jack Wilshere are also part of the campaign.
