Shilton urges Ben Foster to end England exile

England record caps holder Peter Shilton believes Joe Hart can establish himself as No.1 for years to come – but urged West Bromwich Albion's Ben Foster to come back from his self-imposed international exile.

Manchester City keeper Hart, 25, is the man currently in possession of the England gloves, having impressed during the European Championship qualifying campaign under Fabio Capello.

It remains to be seen what will be the make-up of the squad for the finals when new boss Roy Hodgson unveils his selection, as Bursaspor's former Albion keeper Scott Carson and West Ham's Robert Green are expected to offer back-up to Hart for Poland and Ukraine.

However, Shilton – who won 125 caps between 1970 and 1990 – would love to see on-loan keeper Foster make himself available for England duties again, the 29-year-old having taken a break from international action in May 2011 which could now be ended when Albion boss Hodgson steps up to the national team.

"Joe Hart could win a lot of caps for England. You need a bit of luck through injuries, but he is in at an early age and there is not a lot pushing him at the moment. Unless Foster comes back, you never can tell, certainly he could be there for a while," said Shilton.

"I would like to see Foster come back in and put some pressure on, and after that there is a few with potential."

Shilton has been impressed with the form of the Manchester City keeper, who could secure a Premier League winners' medal on Sunday.

"Joe has shown a lot of confidence and has a lot of ability," Shilton said.

"He is England's No.1 and could be there for years, but I think also there are still things that could make him better."

Meanwhile, Chelsea skipper John Terry has revealed he has yet to hear from Hodgson about his possible involvement at Euro 2012.

Hodgson has spoken to Steven Gerrard, who is favourite to be named captain, and Wayne Rooney so far.

Hodgson, who names his Euro 2012 squad on Wednesday, has confirmed Birmingham goalkeeping coach Dave Watson will work alongside Ray Clemence during the tournament.

"Dave is highly rated throughout the game and is well respected by the goalkeepers who have worked with him, importantly Joe Hart," said Hodgson.
