Notes

Froggatt's playing career suffered a fatal blow just days after being included in the England squad for Argentina, as he was stretchered off after a horror tackle by Sunderland's Nicky Summerbee during a Premier League fixture on 12 February 2000.  After trying to play on for a handful of further games, he underwent surgery on the injury in Summer 2000.  He spent the 2000/01 season on the sidelines trying to recover, but was forced to concede defeat and announced his retirement at the end of the season.
