Academy graduate Kyle Walker has been named in the England U19 squad for the forthcoming European Championship Elite Round qualifiers later this month.

The Young Lions take on Bosnia Herzegovina, and Slovakia at Doncaster Rovers and Bradford City respectively, with Bramall Lane hosting the plum tie against Scotland on Monday 1st June.

Well deserved, I met him about 12 months ago, really nice lad who just wanted to play for the blades.

You can't beat having lads in the side who were born blades and achieve a dream by pulling on the shirt every week

There looks some very good prospects in that group & young Walker deserves his call up!

 

[Belfastblade]

Outstanding talent we got there coming thou the ranks when u see the the 2 kyles play premiership here we come!!!!

 

[SotonBlade]

will be a centre back in the future. some say has more potential than Jags

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

He reminds me of a young Paul McGrath, without the dodgy knees and dubious social life I hope!

Bags of potential, natural successor to Morgan and will hit the heights!

Congrats to the young lad and I personally think he deserves it.

However part of me says he has been included as one of the games is at the Lane again.

Hasn't he been chosen for the under 19's before anyway?
