Matt Le Tissier (on a technicality)
As the title suggests, I was wondering if there was a list somewhere online (or elsewhere) of the full internationals who have played for Albion. They don't necessarily need to have been a Brighton player when capped.
I'm specifically interested in finding out how many of the other 27 EU countries have had internationals on Brighton's books. (It's for a media thing, not Brexit/Remain point scoring!)
Hoping someone can help. Cheers muchly.
....a few more.....Steve Penny
Martin Chivers
Sammy Nelson
Steve Foster
Mark Lawrenson
Mickey Tomas
Peter Ward
Gary Stevens

Willy Young
Joe Corrigan

I think Gary Chivers played for Malta
Edit: Research tells me he was asked to play for Malta, but was found to be ineligible on some residency rule.
…and here's a bit of trivia
Both Gary and Keith Chivers had Maltese parents and their name was actually Sciberis.
Their father (who worked with my Dad at the Wall's factory in North Acton) thought that having a foreign name would never work in English football so changed their names by deed poll to Chivers!
How times change!
