Tiny Caribbean country or not, it's still a hell of an achievement, what national accolade do you hold????

[Lefty]

It doesn't matter whether from negland scotland or guyana for any player to be called up to an international team they are a crediet to the club and something for the club and the fans to be proud of.

 

Well Done Lad's Done The Club Proud

[LOS]

Correct me if I'm wrong but its not the first time. The club has a fairly decent history of other internationals at various levels - and not all from small countries.

[YELLOW]

Well done to both Danny and Chris. Well deserved.

I believe that this is the first time we will have had current internationals playing for CIFC.

In the past we've had the likes of Jukka Ruhanen (14 caps for Finland), plus plenty of U21 internationals including Brian Horne (England) and Steve Parmenter (Wales). Julian Dicks also gained a cap for England B.

If anyone can correct me on this the please do.

Wow a dig about Hornchurch,grow up you W@nker

[LOS]

.....in all the haze, a New Zealand international seems to ring a few bells. Probably mid nineties.....don't remember his name though. Haven't the foggiest wheather he was active or not.

 

Also, on the semi-pro circuit a few of our boys were called for England (!!). But my point was at someone having a cheapshot and downgrading representing a "small" nation. End of the day its an honour, and over the years the club has ofetn enjoyed that calibre of player - contributing to our heritgae. So as the post says "Come and join Canvey and play with internationals"

Angels have 2 'internationals'. Both only 18/19 play for England School Boys and have appeared in the first team. Nationals played internationally

[The Great Eckscape]

Waltham Forest also have two. However, the strange thing about their internationals is that one plays for Dominica and the other for Barbados, so they will actually be playing against each other!

 

In terms of Non League Internationals, Gavin Cowan, Lee Boylan, Steve Ward, John Kennedy, and Mark Stimson (I think) all received National Game XI call ups whilst at Canvey. Again, there maybe some I have missed off.

[YELLOW]

Chris Duffy received a call up as well. Think he got sent off on his debut.

 

Jon Keeling also got a call up but think he was at Purfleet then.

[The Great Eckscape]

Oh yeah, forgot him. Can you remember if Stimmo was called up Powelly?

 

I remember that Gavin Cowan was called up the day before the match, and had to drive across the country to play up north. Came on as a sub, scored England's goal, magic!

[richard sparkes]

stimmo did play for england whilst being at canvey against usa i think but could be wrong, we did have a left winger in the 90s who was a canadian u21 but i cant remember his name and did martin mullen not play for scotland u21?

[YELLOW]

Stimmo did play against the USA I believe.

 

Neil Gregory was eligible to play for Zambia as he was born there!!!

[Ribbit]

Congratulations to the pair of them. I'm very pleased for them.

[Eastside Urchin]
