dunsbyowl Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Came across this photo and wondered if there was any time in the recent past when we had at least six England capped player in one squad? I assume of the present squad only Kirkland has a cap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

US_Owl Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 (edited) 2004 was the last time. Chris Adamson, Guy Branston, Dean Smith, Adam Proudlock, Jon Beswetherick and Guylian Ndumbu-Nsungu were all ex or current England Internationals at trhe start of that season. Ndumbu-Nsungu went on to collect 32 caps, He qualified for England as his father was ex Cameroon legend Roger Milla, and Guylian was the lovechild of Roger's tempestuous affair with Eastender Pat Butcher.

dunsbyowl Posted October 5, 2012 Author Share Posted October 5, 2012 Never heard of Lance Key before di he ever get a game? Poor Lad - from Wiki - Key began his professional career in April 1990 when he joined Sheffield Wednesday from non-league Histon for a fee of £10,000. He spent six years with Wednesday, but made just one appearance, as a substitute in the FA Cup at Gillingham. This followed the sending off of Kevin Pressman. Key's first touch was to pick the ball out of the net following the penalty which led to the sending off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Distraught! Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 I think it may be Sven that started it, but since they began picking 22 different players (11 play the first half, the other 11 play the second half) in friendlies, being called an England International lost all of its significance. Since then, players that shouldn't get anywhere near to full international status get picked. Every English born player in the Premier League and probably most of the reserves get a game at some point. It's sad. To have an England cap used to be something special and this farcical situation has devalued things for the players that really deserve to play at the very top level. It used to be that even one cap wonders could hold their head up in pride. They probably do now but there is something very false about it all.

One appearance in six years ouch don't think i missed much there not being able to recall him. That was £10,000 wasted eh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
