Quit on England: Ben Foster

Blackburn Rovers keeper Robinson was England No 1 at the 2006 World Cup but quit in 2010 after losing his place.
'I don't see myself as a No 3 or No 4 keeper and find that role very frustrating,' he admitted.

Reina said in his recently-published autobiography Pepe: 'I will not retire from international football no matter what. When the time comes Spain will have to retire me because I will not walk away from them.'

The irony is that Spain, despite political differences between Catalans and Basques, have one of the best team spirits of any international side in recent years, while England, famed for patriotism, have had a spate of retirements from international football including Paul Scholes, Alan Shearer, Jamie Carragher (twice), Wes Brown, Emile Heskey, Robinson and Foster.
