The England hero said: “I’m available for selection if Gary Mabbutt wants to pick me, haha!
“I can’t wait for the game, I’m buzzing for it. I’m so exciting and it’ll be such a great buzz to see the fans again.
“I’m a bit nervous, believe it or not, because everyone wants me to play the way I used to play, but I’m getting on a bit!
“But I’ve been doing a lot of training with Shane, my manager. I’ve been playing 9-a-side, I’ve been on a bike and I’m just enjoying life.
“Who knows, if I play well Gareth Southgate might give us a shout!
“I honestly cannot wait. The new stadium looks amazing, doesn’t it? Wow, almighty.â€
