“It's these kinds of opportunities which really show the advantage of having St George's Park so close to us.
It must've been a real source of inspiration for our youth players to be coached by the England manager and other senior members of the England setup. You'd hope that this type of thing could be rolled out and offered to clubs across the country as part of the FA's commitment to grass roots football.”
