cityexile Posted November 14, 2019 Report Share Posted November 14, 2019 See England have given legacy numbers to every player ever capped for England. John was the 753rd player to get a cap for the Three Lions. 322rd was a certain Billy Wedlock. 1244 in total. If anyone wants the full list... http://www.thefa.com/news/2019/10/31/08/34/england-players-legacy-numbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CotswoldRed Posted November 16, 2019 Report Share Posted November 16, 2019 Would have played so many more times without blinkered management and suits. Atyeo. What a player. What a man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a man. Well only if he had turned pro. It was his choice not to and stay truthful to himself and where he wanted to go in life. There is no way England would be taking non professional players long term in the era of professionalism. He could have gone to Italy as well but his doggedness to stay semi pro and continue his work stopped that. He went pro for a little while but reverted back to semi pro to study to become a maths teacher. He did exactly what he wanted to do. If he wanted to be a career footballer with a big international future he could of. He chose not to. I am not sure there was any issue with suits or management.. or do you know something different?
