Jcolebristol Posted May 15, 2018 Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 Just chatting about the England squad. Out of interest, who would’ve been the last couple of players to play for Bristol City and go on to make a cup squad? I know Tammy made a friendly & Rose played for us, but I was trying to think of players we owned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Isewater Posted May 15, 2018 Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 This could be a very short thread . If , however , you include other international teams then we don't do too badly considering our lowly position in the great scheme of things .

If , however , you include other international teams then we don't do too badly considering our lowly position in the great scheme of things . Pretty much this. We've had very little England representation over the years, but from far and wide in my lifetime we've had a few Australians (Wright, Agostino & Wilkshire, Carle), the Caribbean (Goodridge, Goater, Marvin Elliot for Jamaica), even Akinbiyi had one cap for Nigeria and Uncle Albert for Ghana. Moving into Europe - the season of 98/99 we had Super Ivan for Moldova & Vilmos Sebok for Hungary along with Soren Anderson for Denmark - i am certain Bo Anderson played a few games for Denmark but that may have just been because he did so on my old computer game so may have conflicted that with reality. Let's not forget, we had a goalkeeper who we had on loan who never played a game for us that has played in the the Semi Final of the Euro's ...... go on, you know who it is. edit - there are more of course, but these sprung to mind straight away. Also got Jim Brennan for Canada, Tommy Doc for Northern Ireland, Rob Edwards for Wales. Plenty to choose from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richwwtk Posted May 15, 2018 Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 We have never had a player in an England World Cup squad, and not had a Full England International of any description since John Atyeo to the best of my knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if it's what your looking for but David James played for England once I believe whilst at city- definitely played in the world cup before joining us.

You're right Rich. John Atyeo scored the goal that took England to the 1958 World Cup in Sweden but didn't make the squad for the finals. England's final qualifier was away .v. Eire. If they lost they wouldn't get to Sweden and after 89 minutes they were losing 1-0. In the 90th minute Tom Finney dribbled the length of the pitch and crossed to Big John whose bullet header burst the net and silenced 50,000 Dubliners at a stroke (you can find the radio commentary online). Atyeo had saved England's bacon. By way of thanks, he was never selected for England again. At the 58 World Cup a young Bobby Robson was picked to wear our man's No.8 shirt instead. One for the stattos: In the England .v. Eire qualifiers in 1957 both teams selected a Bristol City player in attack (Atyeo's strike partner at Ashton Gate, Dermot Curtis, was Eire's no.9 in both games). Have there been any other international matches in which 2 City players opposed each other? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneCity Posted May 15, 2018 Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 I remember that Leroy Lita was capped for England under 21s while playing for us. That maybe the closest we've been in recent years at any rate. Not sure if Danny Rose was too, although he was a loan player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the family* stuck by them. * disclaimer, most of the family support the Rovers, my Grandad used to take me to both City and Rovers then made me choose one. I chose City to annoy my Uncle and cousins, glad i did (Rovers were better than us at the time as well) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
