Not the guy I'm thinking about. Aside - pisses me off that Gary Naysmith lost out on the chance to reach 50 caps cos of Craig Broon's flirtation with that erse.

ErsatzThistle Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Dominic Matteo did make the bench twice for the full England squad. Andy Goram was also once on the bench for England U21s. Was it Neil Sullivan ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Dark_Knight Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 1 hour ago, Texas Pete said: Don’t think he was selected for England at any level. He always stated he wanted to play for Scotland. Correct. Even when he began his career with Hartlepool he declared that there was only one country that he was going to play for. His Dad was such a proud Scotsman that "Flower of Scotland" was played at his funeral. I remember reading that a few years ago. Hutchinson only played about 26 matches, but I can't remember him ever having a bad match. It's a shame that he was such a hellraiser at Liverpool as he would've probably have got a move to Man United and who know how good he would've become, as well winning 50+ caps. Even so, he's a legend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, Sullivan did not establish himself as Wimbledon number one until 1995 (when he was about 25) after making his debut in 1990, and would make his Scotland debut just over a year later. Plus Wimbledon players in the England squad was incredibly rare (can count number of players called up on one hand). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burj_Alba Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Something tells me that this is when the eligibility rules changed in the 70s. Don't think it was Bob Wilson so Bruce Rioch. Did he play for 6 years? (75 to 81?) Either that or during WWII but those were not full internationals. Either way great question and good way of getting through the day.

We did have a lot of Scots playing down south in the 70s, in fact probably their whole career outside Scotland so reckon you could be right as I doubt guys like Elliot, Stockdale, et al would of been anywhere near the England set up.

He only had a 4-year Scotland career though which surprised me. Nothing to do with wartime internationals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh, thought Rioch might have been called up and not used under Docherty but became mainstream under Willie Ormond. Don't think he played much after Argentina but could be wrong. At his peak (76 - 77) could have played for anybody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
