GrahamC Posted November 8, 2016 Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 Interesting quiz question would be to name them all... Larry Lloyd, Keith Curle, Gary Mabbutt, Arthur Milton and Geoff Bradford are 5, does Jack Butland (Clevedon) count as coming from Bristol? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richwwtk Posted November 8, 2016 Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 Had a quick look into this and found this article... http://www.bristolpost.co.uk/play-national-bristol-football-team/story-19650976-detail/story.html Has there ever been a less informed piece written with clear proof of an inherent bias to the gas? They manage to shoehorn in Marcus Stewart ALMOST playing for England while ignoring all three City players that have played for England while still with us. Instead they highlight Scott Murray as a Scotland B International as one of our closest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rolandbrisc Posted November 8, 2016 Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 Charles Wreford-Brown. Born in Clifton. Played for the Corinthians and captained England in two internationals in the 1890's. It was he who is credited with first shortening " Association Football " to " Soccer:" c.f. "Rugger" for the egg chasing game. Later an England Selector before they had a "Manager" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidered abroad Posted November 8, 2016 Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 Roy Bentley 12 caps also born in Bristol. Still alive at 92 years. I note 6 came from Wiltshire and wonder if one is John Atyeo, who many incorrectly believe was born in that county. Whereas he was born in Standerwick which is in Somerset.

rolandbrisc Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 I don't think Darren Peacock played for the full England team. I can add to those already mentioned Phil Taylor who got 3 full caps in 1948 whilst playing for Liverpool. By my calculations we have :- Wreford-Brown, Wedlock, Cottle , Britton, Hapgood, Taylor, Bentley, Milton, Bradford, Mabbutt, Lloyd, Curle, and Butland. if I am correct, and I stand to be corrected, that's 13...........and who is the fourteenth???

cidered abroad Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 I'm fairly confident that with the addition of Phil Taylor, we haven't missed anyone who played post 2nd war. So perhaps, Billy Jones has been counted as he played for us when he was capped. He was born in Brighton according to David Woods first City book. I'm still curious about Big John. Is he in the six from Wilts or the only one from Somerset? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played cricket for Somerset Second XI in the days when one had to be born in a county to represent a County Cricket team. If he had been born in Dilton Marsh or anywhere else in Wiltshire, he could only have represented Wiltshire in the Minor counties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The road is "Atyeo Close" which runs through the orchard at the side of his house in High Street, Dilton Marsh. I used to live in Frome and drove past his house going to/from Westbury station to get to Ashton Gate for home games. I saw his first game for City in 1951 v Newport County, his last v Ipswich in 1966 and a lot in between. Great footballer and man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One BCFC Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 Also a street named after him in Warminster I believe, having taught at Kingdown School, he was thought of highly. City have a pretty decent fanbase around the areas of Warminster and Westbury from his influence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southvillekiddy Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 As far as I am aware Billy Wedlock and Geoff Bradford were the only 2 Bristolians who played for England at the time they wre playing for a Bristol Club? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolandbrisc Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 Joe Cottle should be added to Wedlock and Bradford as Bristolians capped for England whilst with a Bristol club. I think all 3 were also not just born in Bristol but died in Bristol too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rolandbrisc Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 When England played Ireland in 1909 there were two City players in the team . Both Billy Wedlock and Joe Cottle Came from Bedminster and ended their days as Publicans in Bedminster too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
