Foster's England call
7:10pm Tuesday 26th August 2008
Oxford United defender Luke Foster has been named in a 16-man England C squad for the visit to Bosnia & Herzegovina next month.
Foster, the U's player of the season last year, gets his call-up despite disappointing form.
The England C match, in Sarajevo on Tuesday September 16, is against the Bosnian A2 squad, used as a bridge between their Under 21 and senior sides.
Although the Bosnians will be an open-age side, England C manager Paul Fairclough has decided to go with an Under 23 squad to prepare for the International Challenge Trophy Group A decider in Italy in November.
England C squad: Cronin (Ebbsfleet Utd), Bartlett (Kidderminster), Brayford (Burton), Robinson (Weymouth), Gleeson (Cambridge Utd), D'Laryea (Mansfield), Foster (Oxford Utd), Tremarco (Wrexham), Smith (Ebbsfleet Utd), Penn (Kidderminster), Stevens (Crawley), Brodie (York), Moore (Ebbsfleet Utd), Cole (Stevenage), Harrad (Burton), Arnold (Mansfield).

OUFC fans love to moan. Instead of words of encouragement we get ppl moaning and slating our double player of year. Please feel free to moan about this post!!! Good luck Fozzy!!!
The selectors are obviously not picking players on form. Foster is a key player to OUFC this season and the sooner he sorts himself out the better. This game is unecessary for the player and if he gets injured then it could seriously affect our form.
Oh, hold on, we have no form, so it won't matter. Silly me.

There’s nothing King Couer-de-Loup likes more than a good battle: “We’ll march on King Florizel’s wet and wicked army,” he proclaims. His Queen is not so sure, however. She would rather her husband stayed around: there’s the christening of their daughter Princess Aurora to arrange for a start. And he certainly can’t go out and fight looking like that: “Your chain mail’s got a ladder in it,” she wails.
