Who was the last active Sheffield United first teamer to play in a World Cup?

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

This may have already been asked, but I can't be bothered to check...

Any ideas who was the last active SUFC first teamer to play at a World Cup/be picked for a World Cup squad?

Gu on Ili and Davo. UTB.

Someone like Suffo or Carney? Can't think of many.

Even players like both Quinns, Geary and Kenny rarely got in ROI squads.

Alan Kelly - 2002?

One for the historians...

Sorry if this has been asked and answered elsewhere, but I couldn't find anything. When was the last time that a current Blades player played at a World Cup? I can't think of any in my lifetime (but I may be wrong) apart from maybe Alan Kelly at USA '94? He was in the squad, but did he play...

Suffo wasn't a first team player when he went to the WC in 2002, he was on loan after the battle of Bramall lane.

I think it's probably Flo

He left us in 99

Deadbat did a Pinch article on this very recently. One of the sections was about the players who have gone to a World Cup while on United's books. There's six and apparently only two got on the pitch, Suffo and Flo.

Excellent read that

What about Alan Kelly in 98 or 94. I'm not giving up?

Went, but didn't play in 94, Ireland didn't qualify in 98

Actually saw a Quinn & Kenny play for the ROI in the same game

Jostein Flo. Norway-France 98

Jostein Flo. Norway-France 98

He left us in 1996, but he did play while with us in 1994. A pre-Blades Fjortoft also played.

Ah yes correct. Pics of him in the 94 away shirt.
