tribalfooball.com - December 05, 2006
Manchester City defender Micah Richards hung up on Steve McClaren when the England boss called to tell him he was in his squad for the match against Holland.
The Manchester City starlet became England�s youngest-ever defender when he played against Holland in a friendly last month.
But £15million-rated Richards admits he could have ended his England career before it had even started.
He said: "I was in a barbers in Moss Side when my mobile phone rang.
"This voice said this is Steve McClaren here...
"I just said, yeah, whatever and hung up.
"Then he called again and I listened to his voice and could tell it really was the England manager.
"He just congratulated me on being selected and said �well done, you deserve it.Im just glad he called back!"
