Has a United player ever played against England?

[1973Blade]

Seeing Nuhiu for Kosovo today got me thinking, has a United player ever been in a side playing against England (whilst being on United's books)?

 

[1993]

Ched did a few years ago for Wales, around 2011ish

 

[Nicolaus_Copernicus]

Alan Kelly, Eddie Colquhoun, Roger Nilsen & Jostein Flo

 

[BigBed]

The late great Gary Speed is most obvious one.

RIP

 

[Bath Blade]

Alan Kelly was the keeper in the abandoned match back in 1995.

 

[BerksBlade]

Pretty sure the likes of Eddie Colquhoun & Dave Powell would have played against England in the Home International Championship

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

Must be a few over the years for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland

Keith Gillespie

 

[BerksBlade]

Also Flo & Nilsen for Norway. Have a vague recollection of Patrick Suffo playing against England, but not sure he was on our books at the time?

 

[BettingBlade]

Keith Gillespie was in the Northern Ireland side that beat England.

 

[10-0 win]

Fjortoft, Trevor Hockey(wales) Gillespie(ireland) Dellas maybe, Jim Bone maybe, Jamie Ward NI............

 

[Albert Grumble]

Glyn Hodges?

We went to see England v Norway at Wembley.
It was rubbish. We were sat near some fans from either Spurs or Arsenal. They spent the 90mins booing either Arsenal players or someone like Anderton. Have never been to another international since. We only went due to the Blades connection.

Gil Reece?

Billy Gillespie played for Ireland against England on at least six occasions between 1913 and 1926 and scored a total of seven goals.
