Euro2016: England, Man City keeper Hart used to rent a room off me! - Wales midfielder Edwards

Wales midfielder Dave Edwards has known Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart for a long time now.

The Wolves midfielder has revealed that Hart used to rent a room off him during their time together at Shrewsbury Town but will out their relationship to the side this week.

The old mates will face each other when England take on Wales in Euro2016 on Thursday and Edwards is eager to get one over his former tenant.

"We lived in a little two-bed terrace which was my first home in Shrewsbury," said Edwards.

"He rented a room off me. I was 18, 19 when we lived together for just over a year until he signed for Man City. He was a messy housemate.

"I remember the time a few sponsors were trying to get hold of him so there were boxes of clothes everywhere. I would go and rob them but they were too big for me.

"The house didn't have a dishwasher so he used to stack them up and I used to clean them.

"We still are very good friends. To think we were in that situation and may now play each other in the Euros, it is amazing. It's great for the Shrewsbury youth system and for the town.

"I spoke to him last Wednesday and we wished each other luck."
