Ex-Premier League centre-back is given international call-up for new side aged 38... 15 years after he was selected in Fabio Capello's first England squad

A former Hull and Derby centre-back has received an international call-up for a new side 15 years after he was selected by Fabio Capello to play for England.

The 38-year-old defender has made more than 500 professional appearances for clubs including Birmingham, Aston Villa and West Brom.

He currently plays for League One side Cheltenham Town, making three appearances after joining the club this year.

After earning three caps for the England U-21 side, he was included in Fabio Capello's squad in January 2008 but never made his full debut.
