Wills' player picks for Gaz

- NADEEM BADSHAH

SIR Gareth Southgate has claimed Prince William used to tell him which stars to pick for England.

And he revealed Wills would “go for every Aston Villa player”.

He said the footie-mad future King regularly visited the Three Lions’ changing rooms to deliver stirring speeches and console players.

Southgate, 55, also admitted he was glad not to be the one choosing the squad this time round – but refused to give his verdict on Thomas Tuchel’s picks. He said: “Id efinitely thank God I am out of it.

“You can see all the issues because you have lived them. You know when there is a bandwagon for certain players.
