Best players not capped by England

[Oleg_McNoleg]

Villa's European Cup winning squad didn't get the caps it might have. Gary Shaw and Dennis Mortimer were unlucky to miss, for example.

George Best, Lionel Messi, Maradona, Pele ,Beckenbaur, the list is endless, how we never gave these players a chance I'll never know

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Greal call...and we might have had a chance in the penalty shoot-outs !!

David Howells!

If Carlton Palmer got a cap, he should have.

That goal keeping top Walker was wearing is the worst in the history of football.

Ryan 'lock up your sisters, wives etc' Giggs.

Like many on the thread, it's a crying shame he was never actually eligible to play for England.

Bizarrely, he could have played for Sierra Leone if he'd fancied it.

Steve Bruce definitely. Had to google to check, honestly can't believe he never got an England Cap.

Ruel Fox as well, one of my fave players back in the early-mid 90's.

Was also going to mention Stuart Ripley but he got two caps. Should have been lots more!

 

[Bognor Bystander]

My two fav's were both Jimmy's - Jimmy Case and Jimmy Greenhoff !

 

[Mellotron]

Zinedine Zidane

 

[Jam The Man]

Mark Walters deserved more than 1 cap

 

[atfc village]

Chris Sutton would of got more than 11 Minutes of International Football if he hadn't been a sulky fool.

 

[Gregory2Smith1]

First name that came into my head too.

Didn't he save 3 penalties in one game and still lost 6 nil?

I seem to remember Gary ****ing Bailey saving maybe 2 or 3 penalties against Ipswich at Portman Road and Utd lost 6-0!

bizarrely Gary ****ing Bailey was born in Ipswich

 

[Murray 17]

He was capped by England at schoolboy level...which is the same level as the Welsh professional team.

Surely it's not that low??
