Turgott fires England through

Blair Turgott and Matthias Fanimo will return to Little Heath this week after an excellent week's work with England.The Hammers duo helped the Young Lions to qualify for next spring's Elite qualifying round of the 2011 UEFA European Under-17 Championship.

The attack-minded Turgott notably scored the only goal of the 1-0 win against Poland that made certain of top spot in their mini-tournament group, after a 3-0 victory against Sweden and 1-1 draw with hosts Georgia previously.

Turgott played the whole game of the final nervy date with the Poles, while Fanimo came off the bench in the 73rd minute. The duo are used to success in national-team colours, having been part of the England squad that won the Victory Shield last summer at Under-16 level.

Both could be back in U18 level for the Hammers next week when Tony Carr's side go to Charlton Athletic looking to return to winning ways. England, meanwhile, will learn their Elite round opponents when the draw is made on 30 November. Should they progress from that stage, the final tournament for Europe's best eight U17 nations will be held in Serbia between 3 and 15 May.
