Harry Maguire

Signing for Leicester, they gave me a great platform to go and play for England as well.

It's a dream come true to make my debut for England. It's something I always wanted to do as a young boy, and I'm sure there's thousands and thousands of kids who dream and wake up every morning thinking that's what they want to be. I feel very proud and very privileged.

I've come from a grounded family and had a good upbringing.

I always had great belief. I always felt like I should be playing.

It is a cruel game at times.

The disappointment of getting relegated from the Premier League is an awful time for anybody as a footballer.

Have I ever left the field with a broken nose, black eye? Yes, numerous times. I've had a broken nose and a few black eyes. It's part and parcel of the game, really.

We work hard in the gym; we work on set plays, which are massive. We work really hard on them on the training ground.

It was always academic first, and I always put school work before football - although I did put a lot into football!

I'm a grounded lad, and I just look forward to see what's going to happen in the future.
