It was the first time walker had been given the opportunity to lead the national team out and was enthralled by the match that saw england advance to the european championship qualifying group.
Walker is regarded as a leader in both the club and country setups, and he delivered another solid showing in skopje against lower-ranked opposition. After the match, walker told channel 4: ‘i think it would always be difficult coming here,’ after the qualification.
Gareth southgate gave the manchester city and three lions veteran the armband in place of harry kane, who started the game on the bench.
In harry kane’s absence, manchester city star kyle walker takes the captaincy of england for the first time against north macedonia.
