If that's the connection then you could add Nigel Spink to the list.

It was 1976, part of an American bicentennial tournament.  Rimmer played against Italy. I really should get out more.

I think Draper was called up for a couple of squads but never played.  I think this was the case with Ian Taylor,  Alan Wright and possibly Shaun Teale.

Am I right in saying that Brian Little, Nigel Spink, Jimmy Rimmer, Mark Walters, Tony Daley and Andy Gray all got one England cap?

I think Kevin Richardson played two games 'back to back' in summer friendlies under Venables whilst at Villa.

According to Wiki "While at Villa, he also won his one and only cap for England, in a 5–0 friendly victory over Greece on 17 May 1994."

Then my guess would be he was included in two squads but only selected for one game.
