Blades World Cup Players

[Paulus]

watching Fathi playing for Egypt made me wonder if there is a list anywhere of all the players who have turned out for the Blades who have also played in a World Cup tournament.

 

[Paulus]

Paul McGrath
Alan Kelly?

 

[Paulus]

Jostein Flo?

[BigBed]

[Booker4]

Whilst with us Jostein Flo possibly Roger Nilson too - both at USA 94. Alan Kelly sat on the bench, also at 94, to a very old and past his best Pat Bonner!

Sadly over years we've not had many internationals whilst with us that have played much. Keith Gillespie is the most in recent years I guess. I think Billy Gillespie is the record holder with 25 caps! If only Ahmed Farty had stayed!

 

[Silent Blade]

Ted Burgin was the first Blade to be in an England World Cup squad (1954). He is now 91 years old.

 

[Paulus]

Jim Leighton?? I can remember him coming on loan but did he ever play for us?

Never played, sat on the bench a few times.

Jimmy Hagan with (a scandalously low) 1 piecetime and 16 wartime caps.

No and neither did George Best

 

[georgethecat]

David Carney

 

[YorkBlade]

Tri Dellas?

 

[I should coco]

David Carney

It could well be correct but I'm afraid there is no way on this earth that name could ever get a 'like.

Tri Dellas?

We'll done you!

Have a 'like' even if it's not correct.

 

[JohnDenver]

Hopefully by Monday

I've got the feeling people have forgotten how awful Cahill was in the Euros. A couple of acceptable games and he's suddenly the experienced head we need.

Get Harry in!

 

[Paulus]

Stuart McCall

 

[Silent Blade]

Neil Collins in goal for Iceland!

 

[Bath Blade]

Did Ian Rush ever play in a World Cup?

Not unless he was playing in the 1958 World Cup.

 

[BerksBlade]

Jimmy Johnstone
David Kelly ??

Alan Hodgkinson, 1962 in Chile?

 

[Silent Blade]
