THERE has probably not been a day over the last seven years when Dominic Solanke has not looked at the jersey that takes pride of place in his house.
In mid-November 2017, he wore it for a mere quarter of an hour, which was notable only for Solanke missing a chance to nick a win against Brazil at Wembley (right).
But it has been an inspiration to him ever since.
"It's one of the greatest achievements in my career," said the Spurs striker, referring to his one and only senior England appearance, as a late substitute in a goalless draw against Neymar and company.
"From when you're young and playing football, obviously you want to make it, but representing your country is a whole other level.
"So I'm still grateful for that moment until this day. Over the years, when I do see the shirt, I've always thought about when I make it back there and win more caps for my country.
