LIVERPOOL starlet Conor Coady has revealed his delight at skippering England under-17s to European Championship glory.

The 17-year-old midfielder was one of four Merseyside youngsters who played in Sunday’s impressive 2-1 final victory over favourites Spain in Liechtenstein.

Coady was joined by Liverpool clubmate Andre Wisdom and Everton duo Ross Barkley and Luke Garbutt.

It was the first time an England men’s team have landed a major trophy for 17 years.

The last success was at the European Under-18 Championships in 1993 when the side included Robbie Fowler, Paul Scholes, Sol Campbell and Gary Neville.

Liverpool-born Coady said: “I’m just delighted with everything that’s happened.

“At the end I ran over to the dugout and slid on my knees and then I just got piled on and I couldn’t breathe.

“It’s just unbelievable. I can’t believe we’ve done it. Lifting that trophy was just unreal. It’s everything I’ve dreamt about and I’m so proud to have done it.

“I went up and I was shaking people’s hands and the fella gave me the trophy and I just thought ‘let’s get it up there!’ so I gave it a kiss and then just put it straight in the air.

“I’ve loved every minute of this tournament and to captain the side as well, I’m just totally made up.

“It’s been a great experience for us all and I think it will help us as players a few years down the line.”

Wisdom enjoyed an eventful day as it was his own goal which put Spain ahead midway through the first half.

However, the Leeds-born defender atoned eight minutes later when he headed in Josh McEachran’s corner.

Highly-rated Ipswich striker Connor Wickham got the winner just after the break.
