Manchester City midfielder James Milner has said that Manchester city goalkeeper Joe Hart is extremely unbelievable and that he could make a great captain for England in the absence of John Terry.

Manchester city midfielder James Milner has said that this time that Joe Hart will make a great goalkeeper and also captain for England.

He is expected to be part of the England squad that will travel to the Euro 2012 irrespective of the manager who will take charge for the major tournament. It has been rumoured that Harry Redknapp is a contender for the vacant England managerial position.

Despite being only 24 years old, Joe Hart has a number of games under his belt and will be a suitable choice for captaincy according to James Milner. “I’d give it to Joe, my friend. Harty has been fantastic all season. It wasn’t just against Villa (yesterday) that he’s made a world-class save, he’s done it in a few games. “That is why he is being talked about as one of the best in the world,” James Milner said after the Aston Villa match.
