Or is Skalak likely to become the first one?
Rami Shaaban - Chris Birchill
Steve Penney
Neither, in fact according to wiki shabaan never even got a cap whilst with us
Did he actually play in 1986 World Cup though ?

Shabaan was on the bench when England played Sweden in Germany 2006
Long shot this one...but I remember late 80's singing "we've got a Maltese international" was it Gary Chivers?!? Unlikely they made the world cup though
By which time he was no longer an Albion playerShabaan was on the bench when England played Sweden in Germany 2006
So the only correct answers so far are Steve Penney (Mexico 86), and Steve Foster (Spain 82)?
It has been mentioned before but I remember the pride I felt watching Steve Foster play for England in Spain 1982...One of ours !
The way we are going, I am sure that there will be more in the future
Tempered, of course, by Fozzys appearance on TOTP, and the video, of the truly awful This time( we'll get it right), the England 1982 World cup song, for those fortunate enough to have missed it.
