The progress of England's Under-21 side in the European Championships in Sweden has attracted great interest, in particular from the senior side, who will be well aware that some of those featuring in the final against Germany on Monday evening could be team-mates in Fabio Capello's future squads.
Young Lions manager Stuart Pearce revealed how both John Terry and David Beckham had sent messages of support for him to pass on to his burgeoning troops.
Pearce is quoted by The People as saying, "When I came out of the
stadium the other night after the Sweden game I looked at my telephone
and there were a lot of messages of support.
"It is nice that people take an interest. I had a text message before the tournament from John Terry.
"It was nice that the England captain wanted me to pass on his regards to my squad, which I did. David Beckham has been on as well, and obviously Fabio [Capello]."
He continued by concluding, "People have a real buy-in to this group of players wanting to be successful, and that is nice to know."
