wd2084072walsall-v-wrexham.jpgWalsall goalkeeper Clayton Ince has warned England that Trinidad and Tobago want an international shock tomorrow to use as a World Cup springboard.

The Saddlers veteran will line up for one of the highest-profile events of his career when he plays for the Soca Warriors against Fabio Capello’s England in Port of Spain.

And the 37-year-old believes Leo Beenhakker’s team can avenge their 2006 World Cup defeat by England and set themselves up perfectly for the qualification campaign for 2010.

“I think we all want to ensure that we can give a good account against a powerhouse like England,” said Ince, who has returned to the international fold this summer after a self-imposed exile of more than a year.

“We can gain a lot from this match and if we can hold our own and come away with a positive result I think it would be a good boost for the World Cup qualifiers coming up.”

Ince has spent much of his professional career in England having played for Crewe, Coventry and now Walsall.

He is also his country’s most capped goalkeeper and he is looking forward to his nation’s moment in the spotlight.

“For guys like myself and the other boys who play professionally in England I think you’re always waiting on a game like this,” he said.
