Much to the bemusement of international 'keepers Jack Butland and Joe Hart, England goalkeeping coach Dave Watson powered a shot that ended up on the end of a spike at training on Wednesday.

The former Barnsley shot stopper, who had his career ended prematurely by injury, showed there's still life in his 41-year-old legs and made a giant St. George's Park lollipop while putting Stoke City's Butland through his paces.

Roy Hodgson's side is currently undergoing preparations ahead of games against Estonia and Lithuania, and has already booked its ticket at the Euro 2016 finals in France with eight wins in eight games in Group E.
