As Eric Dier ponders his first year as an England player he would be forgiven for wishing he had been more receptive to the overtures of Portugal, but the Tottenham man insists he has no regrets.
On Nov. 13 last year the Tottenham midfielder made his Three Lions debut, replacing Fabian Delph in a 2-0 defeat by Spain in Alicante.
As England prepare to host the same opponents in a return friendly on Tuesday, the 22-year-old has plenty to look back on: the high of scoring an injury-time winner in the 3-2 victory over Germany, a starting spot at Euro 2016 and the crushing disappointment of defeat by Iceland to exit that tournament.
