International Career
Despite his success at club level, Phillips has not been able to score in eight caps for the English national team, although he was never given a full ninety minutes for his country. The closest Phillips came to scoring was in a pre-Euro 2000 match against Malta, where he rounded the keeper only to hit the side-netting. Phillips was three times an unused substitute during the group stage of the Euro 2000 finals. His final appearance for England came against the Netherlands in February 2002.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“It is a great many years since at the outset of my career I had to think seriously what life had to offer that was worth having. I came to the conclusion that the chief good for me was freedom to learn, think, and say what I pleased, when I pleased. I have acted on that conviction... and though strongly, and perhaps wisely, warned that I should probably come to grief, I am entirely satisfied with the results of the line of action I have adopted.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
