They won caps????

[BFR]

Ok, we've had the Directory of Foreign Duffers - now lets have 'I can't believe they won England caps.' The premise is pretty simple, name a footballer who has represented their country at full international level who really never should have done - I imagine most will be English but players of other nations are also welcome.

 

To start things off

 

John Salako - England

[Barry Scott]

david hirst - england

[BFR]

Tony Daley - England

 

He had silly hair and was a bit nippy - moved to Wolves and disappeared into the wilderness

[Jeff]

Earl Barrett - England

[BFR]

Good to know we are going with the donkeys from my namesake's reign as England Manager!

 

Continuing the trend....

 

Geoff Thomas - England

 

Just because Palace somehow managed to finish third in the league it did not mean we had to play all of their sodding players

[Rob_the_Saint]

Steve Guppy of Leicester City. The nation was crying out for a player with a left foot and he provided it - two of 'em.

 

One cap and never seen again at International level.

[BFR]

Michael Ricketts - Then of Bolton

 

England's search for a striking partner for Michael Owen has been on-going since Alan Shearer retired from international football in 2000. The inclusion of Michael Ricketts in a friendly against Holland was one of Sven Goran Erikkson's more silly decisions.

[Martin]

Stuart Ripley - England believe me I was there it was bad.

[BFR]

jason wilcox - there really was no excuse for that

[Mr Happy]

This may be controversial but I cannot belive that there has not been anyone better to play in defence than Phil Neville!

[Jeff]

Gordon Cowans - nice nose

[BFR]

brian deane - man we sucked under graham taylor

[Mark (Flag) Braintree]

Keown, Arsenal & England Donkey.

[Rob_the_Saint]

Phil Babb, another of Terry Venables' little jokes.

[BFR]

Phil Babb is irish Rob!

 

Steve Howey - proper Venables joke <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

[Stu M]

Andy Gray - Crystal Palace, naff... I'd forgotten Earl Barrett even existed, how woeful was he?

[Martin]

Ledley King - ha ha ha nice one sven our seventh choice centre back.

[BFR]

steve froggatt - I'm not sure if he ever got on the pitch but he was certainly in a number of squads - why? Left side a problem I know but Steve bloody froggatt?

[Martin]

Kerry Dixon - England 4 caps 2 goals both against the USA. Never good enough really.

[matrix]

Steve Bull - Enough said
