We'll have to play a 'fly' goalkeeper / one hand one bounce etc..Nah. May as well include me if we’re going to be that lax
I played for an England 11 v a Brazil 11 in a tournament abroad once.
I scored a cracking goal, which was disallowed. If it had been allowed it would have pulled us back to 8-1 down
I had been ‘selected’ in a nightclub about 4 hours earlier, whereas those little ****ers looked, and ran, like they’d never had a drink or a late night in their lives!
I thought we had an England keeper....Maddison....would Billy Bly count for the B team. Apologies if they have been mentioned.
Paul Robinson from Beverley really should have played for us.
if it's any compensation, Peter Shilton, tended to be crap against us. Think he got sent off playing for Plymouth at the Ark.
The late, great Ray Clemence also had a tenuous City connection.

Waggy and Chillo played for the FA X1 so they count.

i was just checking the career of goalkeeper les green, who played four games for us. i was under the impression he'd joined derby from here, but that wasn't the case.
he returned to non-league football after a couple of seasons here, playing for nuneaton borough for around three season. he then left, in 1965, to join burton albion, then managed by cloughie's mate peter taylor (a former goalkeeper). both left burton a few months later to join brian clough at hartlepool. all three left in 1967, with clough and taylor going to derby and green going to rochdale, but only for a season, before joining clough and taylor at derby. derby won the second division that season. green left derby in 1971 and joined durban city in south africa. derby promptly won the league. but durban city also won their league.
but green didn't play for england.
clough's son went on to manage burton and derby and burton again.

oddly enough, the cloud seven write-up mentions that green played his last game for derby in a 1970 boxing day 4-4 draw with manchester united. on the very same day, and i've just checked that my memory is correct, city drew 4-4 with sheffield wednesday.
