The 20-year-old made his first senior start for Gareth Southgate's side on Monday night. But it wasn't long ago that Rice was just like the travelling fans who made the 1,100-mile trip to Montenegro.
Declan Rise had a stunning England debut in Montenegro yesterday, as England scored 5 goals for consecutive matches. It was a first start for Rice, as England look to completely assume control of Group A of Euro 2020 qualifying. However, in 2014, Rice made the journey down to Montenegro as a supporter.
Rice today posted a photo with England and Tottenham Hotspur superstar, Harry Kane. He then posted a current image of the pair together after the win last night. 'From asking @HKane for a picture in 2014, to my @England teammate in 2019. What a journey' Rice said on his Twitter account.
