Playing At 4 Major Tournaments For England Was A Massive Honor – Trippier

England defender, Kieran Trippier has announced his retirement from international football at the age of 33. He recently had his say via his social media page, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, he never expected to ever be deemed good enough to play for his country, so representing England at 4 major tournaments is one of the best achievements in his life.

Trippier added that he is grateful to Gareth Southgate and everyone he worked with over the years.

His words, “I never thought as a young lad from Bury that I would play for my country let alone achieve 54 caps.

It’s been one of the biggest honours of my life to represent my country at 4 major tournaments.

I want to say a big thank you to Gareth and all the staff that have worked with the England squad for the trust they have placed in me throughout the years.

Thank you to all my team mates – we have had some very special moments reaching 2 Euro finals, and a World Cup semi final and I am sure in the future this group of players will win a major tournament.

I want to wish Lee, the coaching staff and the team all the best for the future .

And finally a big thank you to all the England fans for your incredible support travelling all over the world to support us and keeping us going in the difficult moments.”

WOW.
