saintquin Posted 21 November, 2020 Posted 21 November, 2020 Was talking of Nick Holmes to a friend and both agreed that he was one of our best players not to have got a cap. This made me think about a Saints team of non international English players. So apart from Nick I would say maybe Steve Moran. Anyone willing to add a name or two?
The Kraken Posted 21 November, 2020 Posted 21 November, 2020 Graham Baker maybe. Stick Budgie in goal for a laugh.

saintquin Posted 21 November, 2020 Author Posted 21 November, 2020 All the above are great shouts. It's surprising Case never got a full cap. Played more for Saints than any other club, which I was also surprised at!

trousers Posted 21 November, 2020 Posted 21 November, 2020 I genuinely didn't realise that Case was uncapped. Which players of a similar ilk blocked his path to selection?

Which players of a similar ilk blocked his path to selection? Around 76/77/78 would be Terry Mac, Butch Wilkins, maybe Gerry Francis, Brian Talbot. None of which were particularly better than Jimmy was then . After that Brian Robson, but Case probably wasn’t quite good enough then , which maybe why Liverpool let him go. There’s no doubt he’d have caps nowadays, as would Billy Bonds, another that remained uncapped. It’s also unbelievable that Howard Kendall never got a cap, wonderful player.

Was called up to the squad at one point but don't think he played. Neil Ruddock - similar I think, only a squad selection From recent times - Jack Cork

Widening this to all four home nations always though Eric Martin was unlucky not to get a Scotland cap when he really hit form one season.

I used to like Jack Cork, always thought he was very underrated. Good footballer.
Jimmy_D Posted 22 November, 2020 Posted 22 November, 2020 I guess this is probably influenced more by his legendary status than his football ability, but I’d go for Benali

kwsaint Posted 23 November, 2020 Posted 23 November, 2020 Steve Mills. Would surely have played for England had it not been for the car crash. Was never the same afterwards, and died far too young 2

Was never the same afterwards, and died far too young I loved watching play and was lucky enough to have played against him in a charity match. Think he was about to get called up for the national side just before his crash.
