Posted on: Mon 01 Dec 2008

Users of the official messageboard on theposh.com have submitted their questions for Peterborough United star George Boyd and the former Stevenage Borough man has now answered those questions.

Firstly George, a big thank you for all the entertainment you have given us so far, and long may it continue. My question is:- Do all professional players aspire to play for their country or do they realise they have no chance and dismiss the idea early on?
A very deep question! You always want to play at the highest level, but I don't think realistically it is going to happen.
