Career in Pictures: Chelsea defender Gary Cahill

England euphoria

However, it was almost a year to the day after that Cahill celebrated his first goal for his country.

On September 2, 2011, on his first competitive start for the Three Lions, the Bolton defender opened the scoring against Bulgaria, familiar foes, during England’s 3-0 UEFA Euro 2012 qualifying win.

Once more, Cahill wrote his name into Bolton’s record books, becoming the first Trotter to score for the Three Lions since Ray Parry in 1959.
