[Albion] Nineteen.....that's NINETEEN.....Albion players on international duty this month...

[AZ Gull]

By my reckoning, there will be (or have already been) nineteen different Albion players heading off for international duty at full and various age group levels this month.

And that doesn't include a further six players who have represented their country already this season and are either currently injured or not selected for this round of fixtures.

So, Albion have at least 25 current internationalists on their books.

All of which didn't look very likely at half-time at Edgar Street on the afternoon of Saturday May 3rd 1997, did it?

Crazy Albion times, folks, crazy Albion times.

[andy1980]

I would guess Bjordal and Normann for Norway u21.

 

[BensGrandad]

What about Gyorkes at some level. Plus Molumby, Connolly for Ireland, possibly Hall at some level for Scotland..

Loads of the U23s / U18s. Molumby, Hutchinson, O’Sullivan, Connolly, O’Hora, Gyokeres, Mateju, Bjordal, Normann, Mandreiu

 

[andy1980]

I think Tareq Shihab has been involved with England at some point (not sure if it was this season though).

 

[andy1980]

Ini Umotong recently played for Nigeria.

 

[Bozza]

What. A. Tease.

 

[portslade seagull]

Name them !!

 

[Lifelong Supporter]

The truth is though that we have a lot of talent at the club. That is from the chairman to the manager and then to the players. The supporters are not too bad either !!!

To take [MENTION=29900]Exile[/MENTION]'s point - I haven't included the likes of Locadia, Krul, Maenpaa, Bong, Suttner, Skalak, Schelotto, O’Hora, Gyokeres and Mandroiu as they aren't current Albion internationals (either they haven't been called up whilst with Albion, or they haven't been called up this season).

Ini Umotong recently played for Nigeria.

A fine achievement.

Just for future reference, any stat-related Albion thread I start will refer exclusively to the men's team/academy.

 

[Surrey Phil]

Solly March - played for England U21.

 

[andy1980]

Gotcha

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Nice list and will be even more next season I expect

 

[Klaas]

Crikey. And to think i used to get excited seeing Peter Smith gallop down the wing and Denny Mundee doing his step over.

 

[Megazone]

No matter how many internationals we have on our books, nothing will beat Chris Burchill getting capped for the Trinidad and Tobago national side.
