How many England Captains have played for SUFC?

[Hodgyman]

While watching a few of the ex-United players play last night in the Man City v Everton match, I got to thinking that if Jags can snuff out the threats of Aguero, what a job he could still do for us. Thoughts then followed towards having a player at BDTBL who has captained their country as indeed Jags has done. I then wondered how many more had had the honour to captain England (or any other national team) and also played for us. I got to no more than 2 others from memory.

I'm sure some of you will know of others, please add your list of players without cheating and looking at Google, WIKI etc. My money is on Silent Blade

HAZZA MAGUAZZA

Might need re-wording this, in theory 0, because Nags played for Everton when he was England captain.
But I understand what you mean, so il let you off!

David Edgar - Canada

Tri Dellas Greece

 

[CarlingBlade]

Jags (England), Cahill (England), plus other who have serious question marks over them Rush (Wales), Saunders (Wales), Vinnie Jones (Wales), Carl Robinson (Wales), McGrath (Ireland), Cowens (England), Colin Hill (N.Ireland).

I'll let you off as I suggested other counties too in the text of the OP

A good list so far. Any more?
Could Phil Thompson be included?

 

[oaklandrdblade]

Fairly certain Nudger Needham captained England at least once and whilst playing for us. Phil Thomson and Martin Peters are two others who did the job before arriving at us.

 

[dazzlingblade]

dare i say his name on here but david weir maybe captained scotland

 

[alvblade]

Peter Ndlovu

 

[Scooter_mcgavin]

I'm sure big Davy Gysbrechts captained that superb Belgian side of the late 80s, Axel Smeets was vice captain.

 

[Grecian2000]

Could Phil Thompson be included?

Bloody hell NO.
His appearance in the Madelaine McCann thread is more than enough of that twat for the day.
Fuck him and his huge fucking nose!

 

[BerksBlade]

Bruce Rioch - first player born in England to captain Scotland.
Surprisingly I don't think Stuart McCall was ever captain.

 

[Silent Blade]

There were just 5 England captains who have played for the Blades, this thread has named them all. Needham, Thompson, Cahill, Peters and Jagielka.

Two England captains have managed the Blades and both were shocking managers!

Dronfield have produced two England captains. Ray Goodall (Huddersfield) who captained 12 times and Gary Cahill (5)

Taken over 35 years to get over and forget about him and then you refer to him twice in one post
