I look in my bag and as I'm going down I realise it's four left feet.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n "So then I go in the corridor and I see Steven Gerrard – it's the first time I've met him properly.<\/p>\n "I said 'Stevie, you can't borrow us a pair of boots can you?', luckily we were a similar size.<\/p>\n "He gives me his boots, we go train – it's the best training session I've ever had.<\/p>\n "So I said to Steven Gerrard afterwards 'can I have the boots?' – he said 'f*** off!'."<\/p>\n <\/picture>ENTER THE DRAGON <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/picture>SCOTLAND 1 ENGLAND 3 <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/picture>SCOTLAND 1 ENGLAND 3 <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/picture>ROMAN RUINS <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n FREE BETS – BEST BETTING OFFERS AND BONUSES NEW CUSTOMERS<\/strong><\/p>\n Lineker and Shearer were left in stitches at the story with the former joking: "That's amazing, no wonder you did not get that many England caps."<\/p>\n Richards, 35, won 13 England caps between 2006-2012 and also represented Team GB at the London 2012 Olympics.<\/p>\n
