City's England

[teesfox]

All this talk of no decent young english players coming through the ranks has got me thinking. During our history we have supplied 15 players to the England cause, whilst still wearing the blue and white.

Here they are and my formation - still unsure of central defenders though, but I know you guys will help

Goalkeeper - Banks
Left back - Osbourne
Right back - Whitworth
Central Defender -
Central Defender -
Right Wing - Weller
Left Wing - Guppy
Central Midfield - Sep Smith
Central Midfield - Hine
Striker - Wothington
Striker - Lineker

Subs - Shilton
Heskey
Barry
Bishop
Bailey
Adcock

Just a bit of fun. We have in total supplied 60 players to varying international teams whilst still playing for city.
(I'm not an anorak, just bored of waiting for a new manager to brighten the day)

Still can't believe Guppy played for England

 

[1966]

Yoiur having a laugh with Guppy, replace him with Lenny.

 

[teesfox]

Only once and in a friendly, but they all count now

 

[teesfox]

lenny never played for england - our gain thier loss

 

[Hazzman]

How about Heskey in the emergency centre-half role he played for Wigan at the end of last season?

 

[Hazzman]

Just had a check we have never had a City player whose was a centre-half play for England

As you text your reply from Platform 8 at Crewe, dribbling into your pot noodle!

Time on your hands then Tees?

No, but I think Tony Knapp played once for a football league side, which is almost there! And Graham Cross was 12th man for England at cricket.

Your right, but I've got a feeling he played a friendly for Engand but I'm not sure if it wasn't a B International.

Thought Whitworth was a Left back, while Nish was the right back. Both internationals.

Maybe that's what I was thinking of.

Nish didn't play for England until he left Leicester. Whitworth was a right back.

 

[western road]

S Smith played once for England in the middle thirties v Northern Ireland
E Hine played for England in the early thirties

information from fag cards that I used to own

 

[Bilborough Fox]

Nish didn't play for England until he left Leicester. Whitworth was a right back.

I bow to greater knowledge, Jeff. Thinking about it a bit more Whitworth came through just as Nish left for Sh##p.

 

[Orifice]

Did Steve Simms only play for the U-21 team or am I totally wrong?

 

[LCFC 4 life]

does ian walker count?

 

[SJN-Fox]

I assume so, but I guess you'd have to ask him in order to be absolutely certain!

 

[Macky]

does ian walker count?

Yep, but he struggles with times tables.
