Kyle Walker believes the current crop of England players have put meaning back into wearing the shirt after they made history by reaching the Euro 2020 final.
The Three Lions will face Italy at Wembley on Sunday in their first major final in 55 years after beating Denmark 2-1 after extra-time to book their place.
England have never played in a European Championship final and will be looking to win just their second piece of major silverware after lifting the Jules Rimet trophy at the 1966 World Cup.
"But for some reason I just felt I needed to be there, I thought 'if I can score this rebound, Kyle Walker scores the rebound to get England into the final – no one could say anything to me again.'
"Don't @ me, don't do anything, don't say anything about me, so I thought I would try and get myself there. I was ready but then I froze!
"He ran and took it but I am too busy looking up to see where the ball is gong that all the Denmark defenders are in front of me so I'm glad he got the rebound. I saw the headlines but it didn't happen."
