Don't know where this knowledge came from but I think it was George Robledo of Newcastle United who played for Chile in the World Cup perhaps in the 1950s.
All yours Theo. He was born in Chile with a Chilean father and an English mother. He then moved to Yorkshire at the age of 5, and later played for Barnsley and then Newcastle - he was then picked for the Chilean national team for the 1950 World Cup, despite not being able to speak Spanish. His debut was their first group game against England. He formed an attacking partnership with Jackie Milburn at Newcastle. Over to you.
