karic31 added 17:31 - Apr 7 Congratulations, great to see young talent coming through. This is the chap who saved one against Germany for the England u17s isn't it? If so then yes leftback, he is the guy who comes on at halftime. Made some decent saves I thought but just wasn't able to stop the mighty Jenny! Not sure any man could!
