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:
“Whether lawyer, politician or executive, the American who knows what’s good for his career seeks an institutional rather than an individual identity. He becomes the man from NBC or IBM. The institutional imprint furnishes him with pension, meaning, proofs of existence. A man without a company name is a man without a country.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
