SHIRT-TERM MEMORY

DOMINIC SOLANKE has a permanent reminder of the proudest moment of his career.

Which is a good job, because so much time has passed since it happened he could be forgiven for having forgotten it.

Almost seven years have flown by since the Tottenham striker won what turned out to be his one and only England cap.

It came as a late substitute against Brazil in a friendly at Wembley in November 2017.

And despite playing less than 20 minutes of the goalless draw, Solanke kept hold of his Three Lions shirt, despite being tempted to swap it with Neymar.

It hangs on the wall of his London home – and Solanke admits it has provided the main motivation for him to get back into the England set-up.

Solanke said: “I’ve still got it framed in my house. It’s one of the greatest achievements in my career.

“From when you’re young, obviously you want to make it but representing your country is a whole other level.
