Noble loses deposit after England call-up
Mark Noble has been hit in the pocket by his England Under-21 call-up after cancelling a holiday in Mexico to play for his country.
The all-action West Ham midfielder has lost his deposit on the trip and so have all his mates - and instead they are heading to Holland to support him.
"Everyone at West Ham was telling me not to book my holiday because I might be called up," he said.
"But I booked one to Mexico with my friends and was looking forward to going. Then I got the phone call and I was buzzing about it. And the missus was buzzing because I wasn't going to Mexico with the lads!
"They are coming out to support me instead. I have not got my deposit back but it is worth it.
"We are going to kick on and hopefully bring the trophy home. We have definitely got the squad to do it."
