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.
