Andy Johnson gets his cap

England manager Sven-Goran Eriksson has awarded Crystal Palace's Andy Johnson his first international cap in a friendly against Holland.

Although Johnson deserves this call up on merit, having Alan Smith and Darius Vassell injured made the decision easier.

I made the call for his inclusion recently. Its nice to see that Eriksson is willing to include players from smaller clubs, this is good motivation for up and coming players.
