Former Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Ray Clemence feels that Andros Townsend must keep playing well to make sure of a spot in England's 2014 World Cup squad.
Clemence, who played between the sticks for Spurs between 1981 and 1988, won 61 caps for England and has been delighted at how Townsend has adapted to the international set-up.
The winger burst onto the scene for the Three Lions in last month's crucial World Cup qualifiers against Montengro and Poland, with his performances receiving rave reviews.
He needs more of the same though, in Clemence's opinion.

"Andros has done fantastic in terms of where he was last season, being loaned out to different places", Clemence told Spurs' official site.
"All of a sudden Spurs have given him the opportunity and he’s taken it and then England have given him the opportunity and he was excellent in both games.
"He’s a very level headed boy and therefore he knows that, yes, things are going well but there’s a long time before the World Cup squad is picked so now he’s got to concentrate on staying in this Spurs team and continuing to play as well as he is doing in the team, and everything else will follow off the back of that."
