International recognition?

[Jones91]

So basically anyone in our first 11 should be an international (apart from the goalie)

Teddy Sheringham? To be fair he was 27, but only made 5 caps before he was 30 and didn't really break through until Euro 96. He went on to earn 45 England caps between the ages of 30 and 36. Went to the 2002 World Cup at the age of 35.

 

So the nearest we can get is someone who was 3 years younger, already a proven premier league striker and went on to play for Man United in their best side in 40 odd years. I'd love to see Rickie play for England and if it was based just on form and being a hero to a generation of Saints fans then he'd get one, sadly it isn't.

England team of gk, clyne, shaw, cb cb puncheon cork cm lm lambert cf

 

You lads honestly think a team in 15th place should have 5 England players in it.

 

Shaw one day.

 

Lambert yes as we are seriously short on goalscorers!! And he's immense

Forget comparisons the man is class and deserves a chance. Scored the most with lampard and Defoe. If he was Spanish we'd be ****in over him

I agree, he does. Just can't see it unfortunately.

Quite a few of these kind of kind of threads doing the rounds before our English players began to get some recognition. I'm sure there were a few Rickie for England posts/threads back in our Championship days, unfortunately I didn't have the time to trawl that far back.

 

Good to see Ricky and Roy proved a few of us wrong.
