Ashley Young's England vow at 38, five year wait and "joke" Gareth Southgate call-up

England's World Cup semi-finalists have gone down a variety of paths since their heartbreaking extra-time defeat against Croatia in 2018, but none have done the same at Ashley Young.

There was one retirement, with Jamie Vardy - a substitute against Croatia - telling Gareth Southgate he no longer wanted to be considered for selection. He later clarified he hadn't shut the door entirely, but has not added to his 26 caps.

Others like Dele Alli and Jesse Lingard, are now in the international wilderness, though the likes of Jordan Pickford and Harry Kane remain very much in the picture. Young, though, lies somewhere in between.
