Actually Petrescu is wrong. Viv Anderson was the 2nd black player to represent England. Laurie Cunningham was first.

He played for England U21s vs Scotland U21s at Hamden Park on April 27th 1977.

Never be too hasty - Here's the proof

Now who's the idiot? Certainly not me City.

That's correct I didn't. You made the assumption that it was a full international appearance. Where does it state that in my question? Exactly, it doesn't. Now let's move on please.

It also doesn't state what sport. You just said "play for england". There could be a 90 year old black tiddlywink's player who first played for england which you didn't know about etc.....

You're being pedantic now City. If it were a general trivia question I would of posted it in the appropiate forum and NOT the "International" forum. Good try, but be careful as you're beginning to show yourself up somewhat my good friend.

Now please let's move on and agree to disagree as we're getting knowhere quickly. :roll:
