Thunder Bolt
Silly old bat
Southgate included Solly March, and JFC in his team, with Walton on the bench, so three Brighton players, but no Dunk.

He received a call when Stuart Pearce was manager in November 2011 (and was an unused substitute for a double-header against Iceland and Belgium).
By the time Gareth Southgate took over in August 2013 he was too old to play in the UEFA European U-21 Championship, and wouldn't have been on the radar.
I guess he was too old and perhaps my statement should have been leveled at Stuart Pearce.
Although GS could have included him as an over aged player, if he saw any potential.

(division 2 but still . . )
Hmmm, The fact that you have to go back that far highlights the Premier League/England snobbery in existence now. So no no Premier League has been picked for an England Squad since?

And Tom Heaton...at least I think he made a squad when in the Championship.
Before that it was Michael Gray and Kevin Phillips, then at (second tier) Sunderland.

Personally I think he will play for England. Not sure whether he will get many chances but I do think he'll get at least one especially if we have a good half season. I predicted the turn of this coming year and I suspect he will be considered a similar standard as someone like Ryan Shawcross.
Time will tell I guess but he is probably the best centre half we've had since Mark Lawrenson, and HE was world class.

Pretty sure Keane has and even won a cap or two unless I'm thinking of someone else...

Euro 2016 which Heaton went to. Burnley were still technically a Championship club then so you have to go back, oh, a whole six months
But don't worry, I am sure that Southgate will be thinking ahead of England's next game fixture - away against Germany - "Do you know what, that Lewis Dunk has done well this season against Conor Washington, Freddie Sears and Marvin Sorell so he is definitely good enough to take on Muller, Ozil and Reuss"

Agreed, especially with England CBs covering themselves in such glory this past year. Chrissy Smalling, Jags, Stones. We're in safe hands. Lewis doesn't stand a chance without experience against the likes of Vardy, Deeney and Abel Hernandez
Plenty of talk, but has never played.

Gonna take a risk and without looking it up tell you you're wrong and he definately came on as a sub and made his debut. Against Spain I even think as remember he was there when they scored 2.
Edit - looked it up and I'm wrong on the playing bit - but he did make several squads. Not a clue who I'm thinking of at CB v Spain - maybe Jag!
