Aston Villa defender Curtis Davies has admitted he thought it was a wind up when he heard Fabio Capello had called him up to his first England squad. Davies was one of five Villa players in the squad.

  • "I'm completely shocked but absolutely delighted. I wasn't thinking about England from my perspective at all.



    "I was thinking about those who might get into Mr Capello's first squad - but I didn't think I'd be one of them. I'm really happy.



    "When I got the news I thought it was a wind-up. I had to check several times before I realised the message was genuine. I really didn't have a clue I'd be called up."
