Birch makes presentation to Lions striker Easter
Whilst goalkeeper David Forde will equal Eamon Dunphy's record as Millwall's most capped player if he plays against Germany in the Euro 2016 qualifier tonight, team-mate Jermaine Easter had every reason to feel proud at the training ground today.Lions assistant boss Marc Bircham, himself a former Canadian international, presented Jermaine with a sumptuous dark red velvet Welsh international cap, commemorating the striker's 12th appearance for his country against Holland in June 2014.
Wales, under Chris Coleman, went to the top of their Euro 2016 qualifying group on Monday night after a 2-1 win against Cyprus. But with the Welsh manager's striking resources currently severely depleted, Jermaine knows that an impressive display or two in a Lions shirt over the next month could see him recalled to the colours for the November internationals.
