Stephen Warnock has gone from rank outsider for World Cup 2010 to making the plane to South Africa.

A surprise pick ahead of Everton's Leighton Baines, the Aston Villa man will provide cover for Chelsea's Ashley Cole at left back. His club performances in midfield for the Midlanders ensures Fabio Capello has an emergency pick for that spot, as well.

Did you know?

Warnock had played just eight minutes of international football in a friendly against Trinidad & Tobago in 2008 before he was named in the 23-man squad for the trip to South Africa.
