Sky Blues 11 made up entirely from players with full international caps (1 Viewer)

Plus us we were far to unfashionable to get many players into international squads.

tbf the centre backs played for the likes of Ipswich, West Ham, Derby and QPR back then.

They were all pretty cemented in place for years though. Not like nowadays where a squad and friendly system would have seen Peake get 45 minutes *somewhere*.

was david Phillips capped for wales playing for us, that's some team

Pretty sure he was, yes.

Yeah the Jagielka of his era
Arrived with us us a little too late in his career to get noticed IMO

He was only 26!

If if he had moved to Either of the Merseyside clubs or one of the big London clubs I think he would have got a few caps but then again Steve Bruce didn't get any either a little later.

Here's a list of all internationals:

Kevin Gallacher! What a good player he was. Still loves City too can remember him doing the commentary on the Rochdale away game and going absolutely mental when we weren't awarded a penalty late on.

Think we just about have enough for a Europe vs Rest of the World 'Internationally Capped while at CCFC' XI!

Or EVSROTWICWACCFC XI as I like to call it...

Can you select a City 11 from players who have represented their country?

They have to have had full international caps, not Under-21's or B teams or suchlike.

A few off the top of my head; Kenny Sansom, Gerry Francis, Gerry Daly, McAllister, Strachan, Jordan Henderson, Magnus Hedman, Roland Nilsson, Nuddy, Colin Stein, Ian Wallace .....


What's the best City 11 you can conjure up purely from international capped players?

You seriously need a job or a hobbie.
