BOLTON schoolboy Michael Gillan, who is attached to the Wanderers' Academy, has a chance to follow in the footsteps of Michael Owen after being named in the England Under 16s squad for the Victory Shield home internationals next month.
The annual competition featuring the four home nations has spawned the talents of
Owen, Joe Cole, Nick Barmby and Jermain Defoe in the past.
England kick off the defence of the shield they won last year against Northern Ireland at Rushden & Diamonds on Friday, October 12 (ko 8pm).
Tickets are available via the club hotline on 01933 652 936.
