Gary Cahill: 'It was amazing to captain England'

Cahill: 'It was amazing to captain England'

Gary Cahill has said that he will "never ever forget" captaining England.

The Chelsea defender wore the armband in the absence of Wayne Rooney during the 2-0 victory over Estonia on Friday.

"It was an amazing feeling for me and my family and a moment I'll never ever forget," Cahill told reporters.

"Once I knew I was captain, I wanted to make it work and to lead them to a positive result, and thankfully it went that way.

"I thought I played well, and the team played well. The most important thing was that we won, so it was a good night."

Cahill missed England's 3-0 win over Lithuania due to injury but should be fit for Chelsea's Premier League match against Aston Villa on Saturday.
