Would Wilf be better in goal than Stevens?

Jonas Axeldal played for Sweden at the Olympics, not technically international but still sounds alright. Pre-Us mind.
John Ruddy playing for England was a pretty proud one.

Sammy Morgan played for Norn Iron before coming to us in late 70's and think he may have got one last cap whilst with us.

McCarthy got capped too didn't he? Did Maxwell get some games for the Wellington Boot Surprise Brigade? Very good shout on McCarthy. Don't think Maxwell ever did for the senior team, no. Which seems... unfortunate. Jermaine Easter did though. And staying on the keepers, David Forde was Ireland's number 1 for a bit wasn't he. Tes Bramble must have played for Montserrat? And Darren Byfield played for Jamaica. I remember Brown getting called up for Jamaica but think he got injured and pulled out of the squad & hasn't been called up again since. |

Some of Rob Newman's misfit wanderers must have played internationally. Jamie Waite was eligible for Thailand I remember & Rob Gier for the Philippines. Don't know if either ever played though.

Think Waite did play, sure we had someone on here (or it's predecessor) reporting back on a dodgy stream. Although that probably says more about Thai football than anything else, don't think he played for us!
A real knowledge test would be Cambridge players who were called up to the England C (was it?) team while we were in the Conference. Couldn't tell you if there was one answer or twenty.

Well this is a fun distraction from the actual football we are currently experiencing:)
My contribution is Gavin Heeroo, who played at least once for Mauritius before his brief stint with us.
Oh, and who could possibly forget that Dean Walling had already managed a couple of games for St Kitts and Nevis before joining us.
And a little more recently, Kai McKenzie-Lyle also doubled up as Guyana's goalkeeper whilst sitting on our bench.
