Appearances for More than One National Team

Four England players have appeared in official matches for another national side, and two of them actually played against England.  At least another four England players have appeared for other national selections in unofficial matches and all played against England.

Captains

Most captains in a single match

In the 2-1 friendly match against Serbia and Montenegro at Walkers Stadium in Leicester on 3 June 2003, four players wore the captain's armband, including three Liverpool players.  There was widespread dismay in the media and among some former England stars that three players deemed undeserving of the captaincy--Emile Heskey of Liverpool, Phil Neville of Manchester United and Jamie Carragher of Liverpool--were handed the captain's armband as a result of the spate of substitutions that followed the half-time retirement of Liverpool's Michael Owen, who had started the match as captain in the absence of regular captain David Beckham.  Only Owen will be listed as captain in the official match records, however.  The three who took over the armband were merely its temporary custodians.

Career

Career Players who appeared both before and after World War I

Charlie Buchan, Andy Ducat, George Elliott, Sam Hardy, Joe Hodkinson, Joe McCall, Jesse Pennington, Joe Smith, Fanny Walden, Charlies Wallace and Bill Watson,

Career Players who appeared both before and after World War II

Raich Carter, Tommy Lawton and Stanley Matthews were the only three players who returned to the England team after the seven-year break in official international play resulting from World War II.  All three played in unofficial internationals during the war.

Career Longest interval between appearances

Ian Callaghan, having won his second cap against France during the 1966 World Cup, he next appeared for England on 7 September 1977 against Switzerland, 11 years and 59 days later.

Modern Day Potential: At the outmost, someone like Lee Hendrie finding a Premiership club, finding top form, and being picked again, Hendrie has not been picked since 1998.  And as of 2009, is still only 32 years old.

Career Longest career

Stanley Matthews made his debut against Wales on 29 September 1934, aged 19 years.  His 54th and final appearance came against Demark in Copenhagen on 15 May 1957 in a World Cup qualification match, 22 years and 229 days later.

Modern Day Potential: Gary Neville made his England debut in 1995, and would have to be picked again in 2017 to make Matthews Record.  David Beckham would need to be picked again in 2018. They would both be aged 42 and 43 respectively.

Career Shortest career

Stephen Warnock, at present, holds the record of shortest England career.  His six minutes against Trinidad & Tobago is the current shortest career, although being an active player, could surely relinquish this record.

Peter Ward played about the same amount of time for England, having come on around the 82nd minute of his only appearance, against Australia in 1980 - evidence of actual footage shows that Ward's England career lasted 6 minutes and 48 seconds.  

Jimmy Barrett went off injured around 8 minutes into his only cap, against Northern Ireland in 1928.

England also used nine black players in their 3-1 defeat to Australia in February 2003, although there was a total of 22 players used, a percentage of 41%

On the other hand, exactly half of the England players used (50%) were black in the World Cup finals match against Brazil in June 2002, of the 14 players used, 7 were black.

Professionals

Professionals First professional to appear

The early years were predominantly amateurs.  Professionals did not appear for England until Jack Hunter in 1878, or Jimmy Forrest in 1884.  Sources conflict as to who was first, mainly because professionalism was outlawed and wages were subtle and under-handed.

Physical Characteristics

Characteristics Shortest player

Fanny Walden, the Tottenham Hotspur winger who earned two caps in 1914 and 1922, was reputedly England's shortest player at 5ft. 2⅛in., weighing in at 8st. 9lbs.

Jack Crawford, earning his single cap against Scotland in 1931, may have only been 5ft 2ins., weighting a mere 8st. 6lbs.

Jackie Bestall (1935) and Tommy Magee (1923-25) were 5ft 3ins.
Numerous players come in at the 5ft 4in. mark... Warren Bradley (1959), Jimmy Conlin (1906), Harry Davis (1903), Johnny Hancocks (1948-50), and Steve Smith (1896).

Characteristics Shortest opposition player

Manuel Grimaldo stood at a 5ft. 2ins. playing for Peru against England in 1962.

Willie Cook stood at a meagre 5ft 3½ins. when playing for Scotland against England in 1934.
A few more have stood at the 5ft 4ins. mark, Bobby Collins (Scotland 1957-65), Brian Flynn (Wales 1975-83), Jimmy Johnstone (Scotland 1966-74) and Hugh Morris (Wales 1896-97)

Characteristics Heaviest player

Billy Foulke, Sheffield United goalkeeper, also known as Tiny and Fatty, who earned his only cap when England beat Wales 4-0 on March 29, 1897.  We don't know what his weight was on that date, but we do know it steadily increased from 15st. in 1892, to 21st. in 1901 and, eventually, to 25st. when he ended his career in 1907 at Bradford City.

Characteristics Tallest player

Peter Crouch stands at a proud 6ft. 7in..
Zat Knight stood at 6ft. 6in., and was England's tallest player for 45 minutes against USA, 28 May 2005.  Crouch debuted in the next match against Colombia, 31 May 2005.

"At 6ft 6in 'Fatty' is the tallest footballer to have represented England. Although regarded as a freak show by many, Foulke was agile for his size and an expert penalty stopper. In the early 1900s, keepers didn't have to stay on the line for penalties, so as a kick was taken Foulke and his enormous bulk charged towards the penalty spot, putting opponents off." Fat Sportsmen, The Observer Sport Monthly, 6 January 2002.

It must be noted that Foulke standing at 6'6 is without source.  Whereas most official sources attribute him less standing at 6ft. 4in..

Billy Gunn (1884) and Joe Corrigan (1976-82) both stood at 6ft. 4½ins.

Characteristics Tallest opposition player

Ludek Miklosko stood at a 6ft. 4½ins. playing for Czechoslovakia against England in 1990.

Many have stood at 6ft 4ins., including Jarosław Bako (Poland, 1989-91), Ivan Horvat (Yugoslavia 1950-56), Bella Katzirz (Hungary 1981-83), Niall Quinn (Republic of Ireland 1988), Jose Torres (Portugal 1964-66), Peter Schmeichel (Denmark 1989-90), and Roman Wojcicki (Poland 1986-89).

Managers/Coaches

Players and Managers/Coaches

Managers Players who played under most managers/coaches

Andrew Cole earned his first four caps under four different managers for an average of one manager per appearance.  Cole made his debut against Uruguay under Terry Venables in 1995, appeared next against Italy under Glenn Hoddle at the Tournoi de France in 1997, made his third appearance against France under caretaker Howard Wilkinson in 1999 and finally earned his fourth cap against Poland under new manager Kevin Keegan in his first starting appearance a few weeks later.
