International Players - Just for fun

Hello, Canary fan in peace........................

Following a discussion on the Ipswich board a few days ago I would like you guys to come up with as many players from between 1970 to the present day who have been awarded FULL international caps (while playing for your team). Not u18, u21 etc - Any country.

I do not intend to turn this into a discussion type of thread or any kind of competition between our 2 clubs - just for interest, and maybe some surprises along the way as we go down memory lane.

If you can give me the name, country and approx year (in that order)

 

Off the top of my head:

Peter Shilton - England - 1970-1974
Muzzy Izzet - Turkey - 8 caps between 2000-2004 including World Cup 2002
Kasey Keller - USA - played at World Cup 1998
John O'Neill - Northern Ireland - played at 1982 World Cup
Emile Heskey - England - 1999-2000
Theo Zagorakis - Greece - Captain 1998-2000
Iwan Roberts - Wales - 1993-96
Gary Lineker - England - 1984-85
Keith Weller - England - 1973-74
Frank Worthington - England - 1974
Andy King - Wales - 2009-present
Aleksander Tunchev - Bulgaria - 2008
Matt Elliott - Scotland - 1997-2001

And that's all I can be bothered to think of at this time!

 

Andy King
Aleksandar Tunchev
Ian Walker
Muzzy Izzet
Paul Dickov
Iain Hume

 

I just checked this out on wikipedia - it seems Ade Akin-badbuy was capped by Nigeria!

 

ah...not whilst "playing" for us

 

How dare you morons forget the legend that is Steve Guppy? Capped once by England against - I believe - Belgium at Wembley. Call yourselves supporters? Johnny-come-latelys if you ask me, probably all closet manure fans.

 

And you all forgot Frank 'own Goal' Sinclair.

Whilst I'm here - and not wanting to start a fight - anyone got any news on ja606.co.uk? Still looks dead to me, and has now been hijacked by someone else.

 

There we were making ourselves look good with all these successful internationals and you bring out those 2

If JA606 is back up anytime soon I'll let you know

 

Got this from the ja606 guys: "Pulled it after the DDoS attack, should be back up the start of next week, if not earlier."

 

Add David Kelly Rep of Ire around 1990
Gary McCallister Scotland simular time around 1990
and John O'Neil and Paul Ramsey Nth Ireland mid eighties
Pretty sure Junior Lewis got a couple of England caps while peter Taylor was in charge.
Steve Corica and Zelco Kalac both Australia mid nineties
Sol Bamba ivory Coast present day
Yuki Abe Japan present day
Neil Lennon nth Ireland
Gerry Taggert Nth Ireland both nineties
Robbie Savage Wales nineties
Arar Gunlaugsson Iceland nineties
Theo Zagarakis Greece nineties
Brian Carey nth ireland
sure there is a few more i have missed

 

Thanks people, if you can think of more please keep adding them

 

Haven't seen anyone mention Heskey. Also, what about our goalkeepers in the O'Neill years? Tim Flowers and Ian Walker. I seem to remember they made the bench at least while playing for us.

 

Tommy Wright (ooh) played for Scotland didn't he?

 

Steve Whitworth capped 7 times for England under Don Revie.

 

I'm amazed no ones said the most obvious one: GORDON BANKS

BTW JA606 is back-up.

 

I'm even more amazed that nobody has mentioned the most obvious ex-Fox who was an international......

ZSOLT LACZKO (Hungary)

 

Gabor Bori and Zsolt Laczko was crap

 

I remember their debuts for City against Cov though - they looked awesome! Sadly, it was their one and only decent game.....

 

I remember that game. Half the team was new signings.

Alnwick, Oakley, Bori, Laczko, Howard, Hayles all debuted

 

Good memory

I remember going from that game and thinking "y'know, we might make the play-offs with that team"......
