Gardner thanks Hoddle for England call-up

New England call-up Anthony Gardner has paid tribute to the faith shown in him by his former Tottenham manager Glenn Hoddle as he prepares to win his first England cap.

Gardner has been rewarded for a string of impressive performances at the heart of the Spurs rearguard this season as he was called up by Sven-Goran Eriksson as a replacement for the injured Gareth Southgate.
