Lee Brown and Tom Parkes have been called up to an England C training camp next weekend. The players will leave for the camp after our game against Woking next Saturday and return back on the Monday Ollie Clarke and Matty Taylor are also on stand by.
What is the point of England C? It used to be an amateur international side, but these days they are all professional anyway. And who do they play against?
The England national football C team is the football team that represents England at non-league level. Formed in 1979 as the England Non-League team, it features players who play for clubs outside of the Football League. Home matches are played at various League and non-league grounds around the country. Friendly matches are played with equivalent teams from other nations, and compete in the Four Nations Tournament each season, along with Scotland, Wales and the full Gibraltar teams. They have more recently begun playing against under-23 teams from the likes of Belgium and Turkey which have included players capped at full international level. From Wiki
