Scott Parker has dismissed any suggestions that he avoided playing for England during his time under Harry Redknapp at Tottenham Hotspur.
Redknapp recently suggested that he was asked by a number of Spurs players to help them pull out of an England squad, but Parker insists that representing his country was always a source of pride for him.
When asked if he had ever thought about not playing for England, the Fulham midfielder told Sky Sports News: "No, never.
"I hear people say that other countries are more passionate and have more desire but whenever I've been involved in the England setup, the players have been committed.
"It's a boy's dream. I can't contemplate not wanting to play for England. It's something I will always remember, the pinnacle of my career."
England's disappointing World Cup campaign finished with a goalless draw against Costa Rica on Tuesday.
