McClaren Names Massive England Squad

Steve Mac has named a humungous 28 man England squad for the friendly against Holland. He know you can only play 11 at a time, right?

The only eye-popper is the inclusion of 18 year old centreback/right back Micah Richards. Kieran Richardson misses out, which is fair enough - he’s rubbish, but a lot of other dead wood (Jenas, Neville the younger, Downing) remains while Premiership performers like Kevin Nolan and Leighton Baines continue to miss out.

Complete squad after the jump…

Goalkeepers: Paul Robinson (Tottenham), Chris Kirkland (Wigan), Ben Foster (Man Utd)

Defenders: Gary Neville (Man Utd), Phil Neville (Everton), Micah Richards (Man City), Rio Ferdinand (Man Utd), John Terry (Chelsea), Ledley King (Tottenham), Jamie Carragher (Liverpool), Wes Brown (Man Utd), Michael Dawson (Tottenham), Ashley Cole (Chelsea), Wayne Bridge (Chelsea)
