West Ham United's Lee Bowyer has told the media that he's all but
given up on his dream of once again playing for England, but he
insists that he's quite happy to prove himself at the Boleyn Ground
instead...
Despite an improvement in form in recent seasons, the 30 year old
seems unlikely to gain a call-up from Steve McClaren anytime
soon.
"I dont think I will ever get called up for England again," he
told Setanta Sports.
"I scored 17 goals one season and I still didnt get picked.
"Ive just accepted it now and the most important thing for me is
doing well for West Ham.
"I came back to prove to everyone that I am a better player than
they saw the last time I was here.
"Thats why I came back for a second time and hopefully I am
starting to do that and I can carry on doing it.
"I just want to play for this club. Its the club I love and
hopefully this can carry on."
However, despite his form in the 2006-07 campaign, he's yet to add
to his single England cap, won against Portugal back in 2002 when
with Leeds United.
