Shilton: 'Not one ego in England squad'

England's most capped player has been impressed by the unity in the team, and is pleased that no-one is trying to steal all the plaudits. 

"There's not one ego in the team," Shilton said to 'Sky Sports'. "There's no big player saying look I'm the star of the tournament, this is all about me, the publicity is about me.

"Our best player is Harry Kane and look how humble he is. I think that is what the squad is all about. Their togetherness is a big factor in their success."

Behind this atmosphere lies one man - Gareth Southgate - and Shilton was quick to point this out. 

"He surprised me," Shilton said. "I had my doubts about him, I've got to say that, just because he hadn't had a lot of experience in management but he's proven that you can do it the quiet way, he's made the players believe that anything is possible.

"The Sir Alf Ramseys, the Brian Cloughs, the Sir Bobby Robsons, they had that calm demeanour which transmitted to the players and I think that although Gareth Southgate is not in that category yet, well he might be if he wins the World Cup, he's got that quiet demeanour which comes across for the players."
