England B (7 Viewers)

[Mercian In Anglia]

Quiz question that might pass a few minutes for those trekking up to Hull tomorrow- can you name the City players to have represented England B?

Thought there might be 3 or 4, but I've counted 15 (bonus points if you get the 3 who were capped at this level whilst at City).

Mega bonus points if you get the former Sky Blues manager, and former caretaker manager who won caps.

I'll see if I can put the answers in another thread marked as spoilers. Think I managed it in same thread in the end, save cluttering the gaff up.

Did Borrows and Oggy get B call ups? If they did, did they play?

I have googled this and found the answer; I will not reveal it.

Marcus Hall

Not City related, but this thread has caused me to learn that the all time England B top scorer is the splendidly named Bedford Jezzard.

I remember Darren Huckerby and Marcus Hall playing v Peru at the Hawthorns

Big Jezzy B played with and managed Sir James Hill at Fulham- City link verified.

I’m surprised he scored any goals walking like that.

So that's where that chant originated from.

The B side chased Japan around for 80 mins last week.

One of the three asterisks should definitely have been an England regular for at least two seasons. He was absolutely class for us throughout.

I was at university with his agent’s nephew for a while and he told me that the consensus was that he wasn’t getting called up because he “only” played for us.

It is to that player’s enormous credit that he never agitated for a move.

 

[stupot07]

Huckerby, I remember him getting the call, IIRC it was about the same time as Dublin got the full England call up.

Yeah, compare some of the names in the 'B' list with the likes of Harwood-Bellis/Jack Cork/Carl Jenkinson etc. and it's hard to argue that getting a full cap is a lot easier these days.

Harry Winks got capped 10 times FFS!

Gary Megson ensured no. Future England International from what I've heard.
