Everton's Amputee footballers Steven Johnson & Jason Williams helped England win twice against Turkey over the weekend.

England won 4-0 on Saturday & 2-1 on Sunday as part of their preparations for the forthcoming World Championships in Brazil.

England captain Steve explained the importance of the friendly games, saying: "Both Jason & myself are very experienced at international level having won five World Cup winners medals between us.

"But we have a very young & inexperienced squad, most of which have not had international experience.

"The fixtures against Turkey were vital in the build up to the World Cup. The games were a steep learning curve for the younger players.

"We played some very good and fast football in the 4-0 win. Turkey were more defensive in the second game, the 2-1 score line not reflecting the superiority of the England team."

Steve, Jason & Everton's Football In The Community business manager Dave Connor who coaches the England amputee team will be jetting off too Rio de Janiero in August to try to secure the World Cup.
