Michael Ball, Warren Barton, James Beattie, Lee Bowyer, Nigel Clough, Tony Dorigo, John Fashanu, Anthony Gardner, Michael Gray, Owen Hargreaves, Lee Hendrie, Andy Hinchcliffe, Steve Howey, Francis Jeffers, Seth Johnson, Paul Konchesky, Zat Knight, Gavin McCann, Danny Mills, Mike Phelan, Chris Powell, Kieran Richardson, Stuart Ripley, John Salako, Lee Sharpe, Tim Sherwood, Paul Stewart, Steve Stone, Chris Sutton, David Unsworth, Matthew Upson, Ian Walker, Mark Walters... pick however many from that identity parade.

Eadie and Froggatt made squads but never played.

Wow. Quite an impressive list there. I disagree with Michael Ball, though.

Sylvan Ebanks-Blake scored for Man Utd tonight - can somebody explain to me how, with a name like that, he's English and not Northern Patagonian or something?

Then again, the Bucs did have a Welsh youngster called Ramon Calliste last year. Welsh?!? He sounds more like a Colombian drug lord!

Stop living in the past, Matt. The UK's a multi-cultural place, now


...plus a Welsh Columbian drugs lord doesn't need a work permit.

A few quality players in that list though.

Where exactly?

Shows how much England managers in the past have given out England caps in a brown paper bag. I mean hasn't Phil Neville worn the captain's armband in one of Eriksson's random merry-go-around subs in some random friendly?

 

[Craig]

Where exactly?

Upson and Hargreaves are the best on that list.

 

[Craig]

And it looks like George Best may be on his last legs.

Sad to hear what has happened.

It's an even bigger tragedy he jumped the liver transplant queue first - someone who wasn't a perpetually drunk tosser could have easily had an extra 20-30 years of life.

As damning a sentence as any I can muster.

emile heskey is yet another to find himself at the helm of this rather meaningless role.

Totally agree with whoever made this.

You mix with Liverpool fans? Oh dear....

James Beattie, Lee Bowyer, Owen Hargreaves,Danny Mills, Kieran Richardson, Ian Walker,Matthew Upson and Paul Konchesky are all relatively good players. Some of them like Hargreaves barely make the grade though.

 

[marc71178]

No, they're not.

Any reasons, or just you like their haircuts?

 

[Barney Rubble]

No, they're not.

Seconded. The fact that James "I'm fat, lazy and always injured - and oh yeah, I'm a steaming pile of crap, too" Beattie has pulled on an England shirt 9 times (I think - it's something like that anyway) makes me cringe.

 

[roseboy64]

Never said they're world beaters but they aren't the worst out there. Pretty decent IMO.
