Shelvey was rewarded for the hard work and the change in attitude this week with a call up to the England squad for their qualifiers against San Marino and Switzerland over the next few days.<\/p>\n
It caps (pardon the pun) a remarkable 2015 for Shelvey both for club and country and as well as with his personal life – he married his partner Daisy back in the summer.<\/p>\n
It is in stark contrast to the back end of 2014 where Shelvey’s career looked like it could almost self implode upon him. Some public criticism from his manager and a nightmare at Liverpool – his old club – where he was hit with a ban afterwards, convicted by video evidence.<\/p>\n
At that point I am not sure that anyone would have foreseen the turnaround in fortune but Shelvey has put his head down, done what is asked of him and is now a massively important part of our team and he hopes to have the same effect on England.<\/p>\n
It is credit to Shelvey though that it has happened and he knows himself what he puts it down to \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I have grown up a lot. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve had to because I am married with a child now,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d he said. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153It has made a difference. I have more stability in my life, more security at home and feel a bit more comfortable.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Hopefully I can kick on and get on with my career now.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153It was after the stag do where I thought, \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcIt is time to really knuckle down\u00e2\u20ac\u2122. There were 50 of us! It was probably on the flight back when I knew I had to change.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I got my stag do out of the way and then I worked day in, day out with a personal trainer back home in Essex.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153He really put me through my paces. He worked me hard and I wanted to kill him sometimes! But he was spot on.”<\/p>\n
And to that personal trainer I would imagine he owes a tremendous debt of gratitude as, of course, do we<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
