Blackburn keeper Robinson: Ruddy, Forster not in Hart class

Blackburn Rovers goalkeeper Paul Robinson says underfire Manchester City keeper Joe Hart remains England's best.

Robinson insists Norwich City No1 John Ruddy and Celtic's Fraser Forster aren't in Hart's class.

Robinson wrote in the Daily Mail: "I hope Joe doesn't lose the confidence he's got, the way he's always up for talking before and after matches. He should keep that. He's got a confident air about him. It's not an arrogance, its a confidence. And I think you need that as a goalkeeper, he's got the ability to carry on with what he's doing.

"John Ruddy and Fraser Forster are good goalkeepers but they're not as good as Joe. In my opinion he can be England's No 1 for a very long time.

"I loved representing England, loved my time playing for my country. It's a huge honour. The players you play with, going to World Cup tournaments, it's the stuff you dream of when you're a kid."
