A few other Welsh internationals
Iwan Roberts,capped before playing for us Dave Partridge, capped before playing for us Jason Rees, capped once before playing for us Lewis Price, capped after brief loan spell with us
Interesting to no one but me, but Jason Rees and Les Cartwright (mentioned earlier in the thread) are both from Aberdare, my home town. I like that there's this little link between where I live and the club I support over 200 miles away.

Rob Gier, mentioned above, responsible for the only tackle I've ever witnessed which I briefly considered to be an act of a higher power. In front of the NRE, against who-knows-after-all-this-time Stevenage, but just wow. His name came up, and had to mention it again. Still slightly surprised by him being there and getting the ball...
I will never forget THAT tackle in the 1-0 home win against Stevenage when Lee Power was in temporary chance. Same! That was commitment personified. Thirded! An absolutely amazing moment...

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. It's definitely more than one. Morro, Coulson, McAuley, Roberts, Berry, Dunk & Holroyd for sure played for them. I think Hedge did while he was with us too.

Glees has a few England C caps too.

Another one that just came to mind, apologies if already mentioned, but mercenary Cameron McGeehan picked up a Northern Ireland cap last year.
