On the second episode of our series 'Capped' we speak to former England and West Ham striker Dean Ashton about his solitary cap against Trinidad & Tobago in 2008, and also reflect on the freak injury sustained during his first call up in 2006 that would ultimately lead to his retirement at the age of just 26-years-old.

Dean takes us inside the England camp at the height of the Golden Generation and the tricky atmosphere that brought with it, memories of being captained by John Terry and David Beckham, and reveals the plans Fabio Capello had for him for the 2010 World Cup.
