How many Villa for England?

[olaftab]

Marc Albrighton will be the 72nd!

Blimey! I can only assume it was a friendly against an under-strength Lichtenstein reserve side.

Watching that Denmark game and seeing how many players on the pitch had a Villa connection was quite something. And then Downing came on!

Fuck England; we're the Villa - bigger and better!

[Phil from the upper holte]

No I think he means overall

70 england players have been capped whilst playing for England?

God this is more complicated than I thought.


70 or 71 Villa players have played for England.

Sorry I meant to say Villa 

[luke95]

71 players is even more impressive when you consider there were only 5 in the 40 years between 1940 & 1980.

Central news say 72 but maybe they have counted Scott Carson which seems fair enough as he was playing for villa and being paid by villa at the time he was picked for england.

It still makes me feel proud to have so many Villa players playing for England.

A team of Villa developed and/or current and/or recent players would not be too bad at all :

Carson - Warnock, Cahill, Barry, L. Young - Downing, A.Young, Milner - Gabby, Heskey, Bent

Reserves - Albrighton, Delph, Delf, Walker and err.. err.. Mazrim as reserve GK

Edit - Maz can start as the goalie and Carson can sit on the bench!

Looking at the list of Villa capped players two names sadly stand out as not being on the list, Dennis Mortimer and Gary Shaw. Our European cup winning captain being sadly underated and Shaw's career ending too soon.

Did Ian Taylor ever make an England squad?

I'd have Myhill in goal if he's English. Carson on bench - no offence Maz.

Wasn't Barry captain against Trinidad when he scored in a Jack Walker love in game before going to Man City?

David James?

I do recall Tayls making a squad one time. I might be wrong.  Maybe a provisional.

I definitely remember Draper and Wright getting call ups around 96.

Plays for Wales.
