dunsbyowl Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Came across these photos in an England vs Scotland programme in 1963 (Neither Swan nor Ron were listed) and I was wondering when we last had more than one player in the England team? I seem to recall seeing a line up which included Ron , Swan & Kay in one team. Must have been quite an atmosphere at Hampden? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WadsleyOwl Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Palmer and Sinton 1993 v Holland at a guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayzman Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 There must have been a match when any two of Woods / Walker / Hirst / Palmer / Sinton played together... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burton owls Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 if i remember right, sterland and marwood played one game together, and it may of been their only cap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PopePiusX Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 if i remember right, sterland and marwood played one game together, and it may of been their only cap? Sterland made his England appearance against Saudi Arabia in 1988. BRian Marwood came on as a sub in that game but was already at Arsenal. Chris Waddle also played but was not yet a Wednesday player.

Guest BoomTownOwls Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 In the 90's we definitely had four players in one squad. Not sure how many played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PopePiusX Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 In the 90's we definitely had four players in one squad. Not sure how many played. Yes, against Crowded House. A-ha-ha. The most I can find is in 1993 against the USA in the happy Alexei Lalas 2-0 defeat. Woods and Palmer started, and Des Walker came on for Palmer - although I'm not certain he was a Wednesday player yet - he signed in the off-season so he could have been a Wednesday player then.

Just did some research. I think Warhurst was also in that squad as a striker but got injured in the training camp. Never got in the squad again.

PopePiusX Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Warhurst certainly made the squad for an England game, but I thought it was during the 1992/93 season before he fell out with Francis. John Harkes played for the USA in that game, and on the bench for England was future Wednesday great Nigel Clough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was in fact officially very good. Not answering the original question, but I remember in 1961 England played Luxembourg at Highbury in a World Cup qualifier. Springett Swan and Fantham all played. I think it was Fantham's only cap. He scored once in a 4-1 win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dumboldowl Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I was stood on the terrace at Hampden Park that day. Apart from the disappointment of defeat, my abiding memory is the overpowering smell of whisky everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from the disappointment of defeat, my abiding memory is the overpowering smell of whisky everywhere. Really - that's amazing. Can you tell us more . How did you travel ? Were the England fans all together or dispersed round the ground? Love to hear more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReginaldD Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 When was the last time we had a player in the England squad whilst he was a Wednesday player, Hinchcliffe? or did Carson ever get called up as 3rd choice during his loan spell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MrV Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 according to Wikipedia: The injury to Green, who had been named in the England squad for the 2006 FIFA World Cup, led to Carson, who was on standby, being promoted to the England squad for the tournament. He was with us in 2006 but by then I'm guessing he was probably back with Liverpool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
