Neil Etheridge has made the leap from Academy goalkeeper to international performer in the blink of the eye.
The gifted stopper joined Fulham as a 15-year-old hopeful, but quickly became one of the Club’s brightest talents. His performances caught the eyes of the England youth selectors, but having represented his country of birth at Under-16 level, it has been his mother’s home nation where he has arguably made his greatest impression.
Having won his first full cap for the Philippines in 2008 during the AFC Challenge Cup, Enfield-born Etheridge has been catapulted to star status.
“It’s a bit surreal to be honest,” explains Neil. “There is a lot of interest whenever I go back there and it’s funny because over here I live a quiet life – not too many people recognise me if I’m honest.
