International Career
Despite his success at club level, Phillips has not been able to score in eight caps for the English national team, although he was never given a full ninety minutes for his country. The closest Phillips came to scoring was in a pre-Euro 2000 match against Malta, where he rounded the keeper only to hit the side-netting. Phillips was three times an unused substitute during the group stage of the Euro 2000 finals. His final appearance for England came against the Netherlands in February 2002.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“I began my editorial career with the presidency of Mr. Adams, and my principal object was to render his administration all the assistance in my power. I flattered myself with the hope of accompanying him through [his] voyage, and of partaking in a trifling degree, of the glory of the enterprise; but he suddenly tacked about, and I could follow him no longer. I therefore waited for the first opportunity to haul down my sails.”
—William Cobbett (1762–1835)
