A host of international footballers past and present took to social media on Thursday to celebrate St George's Day.

England's national saint's day falls on April 23, and a number of the country's finest footballers were quick to show their pride with a series of photographs and videos.

Recently called-up Spurs striker Harry Kane posted a picture of his younger self, posing with his brother Charlie, his face painted with the St George's cross.

Former national team captain Rio Ferdinand posted a picture to Instagram from his time in the white of England.

Alongside the caption 'Happy St George's Day', Ferdinand reminisced on a goal celebration from May 2003, after England had scored against South Africa in Durban.

Elsewhere, Gary Cahill - current England centre-back - posted a 'Proud to be English' video in association with England Rugby, in which a number of sports star discuss what it means to represent their country.

Nathaniel Clyne, Charlie Austin and Peter Crouch all posted messages of celebration to their Twitter pages too, wishing their followers a happy St George's Day.
