West Ham skipper Mark Noble says he never dreamed of playing for England as a kid

West Ham United skipper Mark Noble marked 15 years since he made his debut for the club during the 2-0 victory over Norwich City prior to the international break.

The 32-year-old has featured in 469 games across all competitions for the Hammers since making his bow in 2004, with 351 of them coming in the English Premier League.

Only the trio of Sylvain Distin, Kevin Nolan and Chris Perry, have played more Premier League matches than Noble without earning an international cap, and he has admitted he never dreamed of playing for England as a kid.
