Bobby Zamora believes Lewis Dunk has fallen victim to big club “snobbery” in terms of England selection.

The Albion skipper is again watching from afar as the national team go into action.

Zamora was 29 when he won the first of his two England caps.

He believes players from smaller clubs have the odds against them in terms of playing for the Three Lions.

Zamora told the Footy, The Albion and Me podcast: “There is definitely a snobbery in what team you come from.

“You are certainly given one, two, three more chances if you’re from a bigger club.

“Dunky, I believe, is probably one of the best centre-halves in the Premier League.

“If he was at Arsenal, if he was at Manchester United, he would have been in the England squad a long, long time ago and more consistently.

“He has come from Brighton. If the training sessions don’t go amazingly well, that’s it. You are given one or two chances and then ‘he’s not good enough’.

“If you play for a big club you are certainly going to get a few more chances, I believe.”

Dunk has one cap to date but has been in outstanding form this season along with fellow Englishmen Ben White and Adam Webster.
