Quite a number from the 1920s and 1930s played for England after they left Hull City - Dave Mercer, Jackie Crawford, Ernie Blenkinsop, Ronnie Starling, Sam Weaver, Tommy Gardner. A few from that era had been England internationals earlier in their careers - Russell Wainscoat, Jack Hill (who became City manager and later chief scout), Austen Campbell, Arthur Cunliffe.

In the decade or so after WW2 we had a more who had played for England prior to joining City - Raich Carter, Neil Franklin, Wilf Mannion, Stan Mortensen, Vic Metcalfe, Jackie Sewell. And one more who later played for England - Don Revie.

Then you jump to the 70s, 80s and 90s for two more that later played for England - Stuart Pearson, Brian Marwood. Plus former England internationals in Emlyn Hughes, Peter Barnes, Mark Hateley and David Rocastle.

Then jumping to the modern era, past England players - Nicky Barmby, Danny Mills, Ray Parlour, Anthony Gardner, Tom Huddlestone, Michael Dawson, Ryan Mason. And future England players - Fraizer Campbell, Jake Livermore, Harry Maguire, Fikayo Tomori.

And finally there is the first of all - Gordon ‘EGD’ Wright who won one full England cap in March 1906 a few weeks ahead of his City debut, although by then he was already committed to playing for the Tigers on amateur terms and could reasonably be considered a Hull City player. Wright also won 20 England Amateur caps and was selected for two Olympics tournaments.

It's quite an impressive list once you get past the fact that Fraizer Campbell was once considered international quality. Well, he got picked any way.
