Dunn backs Robinson for recall

04 January 2010 09:54
Robinson was England's number one under Sven-Goran Eriksson and the early part of the Steve McClaren era.[LNB]But he lost his place after his infamous "air" kick against Croatia in a Euro 2008 qualifier when failing to make connect with a back pass from Gary Neville in Zagreb which cost his side the second goal in a 2-0 defeat.[LNB]Current England head coach Fabio Capello has preferred David James and, during his absence through injury, Robert Green between the posts during his two year reign.[LNB]But Dunn feels Robinson deserves another chance to show his quality at international level.[LNB]The midfielder said: "Robbo has been in excellent form and I think he deserves an England recall.[LNB]"If you look around, there are not many better English keepers out there than him.[LNB]"I am sure if he keeps doing what he is doing for Blackburn over the next five months, then he will be in with a real shout for the World Cup.[LNB]"He has got 40-odd England caps and he is a top keeper. That (air kick) goal is the sort of thing that can happen in football.[LNB]"Robbo has bounced back really well since then and it shows and takes a lot of character to do that."[LNB][LNB]
