Newcastle United defender Steven Taylor has been called up for International duty by England manager Roy Hodgson as a replacement for Chelsea defender Gary Cahill. Unlike some managers who hear that their players may play for England between League games, the news has been welcomed by Newcastle manager Alan Pardew, who has watched Taylor put in a brilliant season for the club.
Taylor, who will get his first senior cap if he plays told NUFC.co.uk;
"It's a dream come true, I am so happy to have received a call up to the full squad. It is every player's ambition to represent their country and it is the greatest honour in professional football.
If I am lucky enough to be given that chance over the next seven days it will be one of the proudest moments of my playing career".
Pardew added;
"This is a fully deserved call up for Steven.
He missed part of the season but since his return has been outstanding. He has a great chance, on this form of going to the World Cup. On behalf of the squad, staff and supporters, we wish him all the best and hope he is given the chance to win his first senior International cap."
