It was about being patient and when your chance comes you have to take it.” “When I left Newcastle and went to Peterborough I wasn’t straight in the team. I have got to keep fighting and working hard.’ And I certainly did that,” said the 26-year-old. “That was a factor that did come into play. “I think once was funny, second time was a bit cringey,” he joked.

So I think from a young age, I believed in myself and believed in my ability and here I am now.” You don’t really think four or five years down the line as a player but then as it got closer and closer to the World Cup, my chances became bigger and then finally sitting here now, you can see where my parents were coming from and why they had that belief in me, that one day I would have this opportunity. “Everyone played a part so it is a bit sweeter when I am sitting here now in an England top representing the country. Here I am now, a step closer to hopefully being involved in the World Cup.” It was a crazy moment and I just couldn’t wait to call my family and let them know the news. And it was Frank who told Toney he had been called up by England, with the striker revealing: “I was driving to training and the Brentford manager called me. She would be making dinners and sometimes she would be making sure I was eating and not herself. He explained: “It’s the sacrifices that my Mum, my Dad and my sister have made and everyone around me.
