Early Start For Smith

Notoriously late starter Charlie Smith confirmed tonight he was in training for the 3 am start on Monday morning when England plays Ecuador. "I wanted to build myself up for it" said Smith "so I got out of bed at 11 am this morning". Smith who usually lounges around in bed until 3 pm on Saturday said getting up four hours early was tough, but because it was England he was up for it. Smith intends to get out of bed at 7 am tomorrow for the late World Cup game, before making the huge leap to 3 am the following day. "I'm proud of the lad" said Rovers manager Hall "I know he's never been awake that early before so I'll be sending him a congratulatory text at 3am Monday morning".
