English squad fly out today

The English Four-Nations squad, which includes four Hereford United players, flys out to Southern Ireland this afternoon in advance of their first game in the Tournament against Ireland on Tuesday.

Their manager, Paul Fairclough, has given his views about his players to the Non-League Paper and has some kind words about the four from Edgar Street.

Simon Travis: "I had my doubts about him. but he's won me over. He has played his best football since he moved to Hereford where he has been a better player all round."

Mark Robinson: "Some would say he is a surprise choice, but he has just got better throughout the season. He has done well against some tricky opponents and will be a real asset."

Craig Stanley: "He got more and more confident as the season wore on and we think he is an exciting young prospect."

Adam Stansfield: "He never really established himself at Yeovil, but he has worked hard on his game since going to Hereford and it's paid off. He's scored goals and is showing his true potential."
