    In response to the challenge set by @Bigrod@Bigrod over in the "City Foreigners" thread, here's what I have come up with for players who both played for City and, at some point in their careers, won at least one full cap for one of the Home Countries. I'm including Ireland in this. Various posters suggested names in that thread; I've added more and also the numbers of caps. Loanees marked with an *.

    I make no claims to these lists being exhaustive, nor will I guarantee that the cap numbers are all correct! Any corrections will be gratefully received.


    England:

    G: William “Fatty” Foulke (1); Jordan Pickford* (34), Ray Wood (3)

    LB: Sam Barkas (5), Stephen Warnock (2), Ray Wilson (63)

    FB: Trevor Cherry (27), Mike Duxbury (10), Paul Reaney (3)

    CH: Roy McFarland (28)

    M/W: Dickie Bond (8), James Conlin (1), Gordon Cowans (10), Lee Hendrie (1), Evelyn Lintott (7), Arthur Rigby (5), Lee Sharpe (8), Chris Waddle (62)

    F: Stan Collymore (3)

    Honorable Mentions: Irvine Boocock (LB, unofficial: 3)


    Scotland:

    G: John "Jock" Ewart (1), Jon Gould* (2), David Harvey* (6), Jon McLaughlin (2), Willie Muir (1)

    CH: William Summers (1)

    RB: Paul Caddis (1), Stephen Wright (2)

    M/W: Arthur Graham (11), David Hopkin (7), Eoin Jess (18), Stuart McCall (40), Billy McKinlay (29)

    F: Tommy Cairns (8), Archie Devine (1), Scott Dobie* (6), Andy Gray (2), Oli McBurnie (16), John McGinlay (13), Marc McNulty* (2), Frank O’Rourke (1), Jimmy Speirs (2)

    Honorable Mentions: Jimmy Frew (LB, wartime: 1), John "Jock" Kirton (M/W, wartime: 1)


    Wales:

    G: Glyn "Boaz" Myhill* (20), Neville Southall (92)

    D: Mark Aizlewood (39)

    FB: Adam Henley (2), James Roberts (2)

    M/W: Alan Davies (13), Lee Evans* (4), Bill Harris (6), Trevor Hockey (9), Robbie James (47), Ivor Powell (8), Graham Williams (5), Terry Yorath (59)

    F: Ken Leek (13), Jason Price* (7), Neil Roberts (4), Dean Saunders (75)

    Honorable Mentions: George Murphy (CF, wartime: 2)


    Northern Ireland:

    G: Aidan Davison (3)

    RB: Samuel Russell (3)

    CH: Rory McArdle (7), John Napier (1)

    M/W: Michael Bryan (2), David Campbell (10), Tommy Doherty (9), Keith Gillespie (86)

    F: Bobby Campbell (2), Steve Jones* (29), Shay McCartan (2), Daniel McKinney (2), Jimmy Quinn (46), Kevin Wilson* (42)


    Ireland (to 1924) / Irish Free State / Republic of Ireland:

    G: Colin Doyle (4), Fred McKee (5)

    LB: Steve Staunton* (102)

    CH: Phil Babb (35), Alan Kernaghan* (22), Andy O'Brien (26)

    M/W: Josh Cullen* (9), Harry Hampton (9), Colin Healy* (13), Mick Kennedy (2), Frank Thompson (12)

    F: Louis Bookman (4), David Byrne (3), Caleb Folan (7), Pat McConnell (2), John Murphy (3), Frank Stapleton (71)

    = = = = =

    Edited to add players.
    Added some first names, corrected Myhill's caps, and fixed a formatting slip.

    Really appreciate these lists @River_City_Bantam@River_City_Bantam . I wonder if we could have these plus the international 11, placed in a sticky thread, as a reference source. Perhaps @SimonW@SimonW could have a look at it. The other person who has an encyclopaedic knowledge of Bradford City is John Dewhirst, who perhaps could add/learn from your list.
    Once again excellent post. :thumbup:

    Ray Wood, Goalkeeper played for City mid 60s played for Manchester United and Huddersfield Town, came late in his career but remember him as being a good keeper.

    Great list, though Duxbury played most of his games for Manure at Centre Half.

    Thanks to all for the updates; I've added them in to the lists.

    And he seems to have put in the odd appearance in midfield as well... Perhaps we should just follow Hugman and list him as a 'defender'!

    On the basis of his performances here, that's a very loose description !

    Sam Barkas used to visit our middle school, no idea what the link was. We went to Manchester once to play an under 11s game or something and went to watch ManYoo v Palace afterwards, Sam signed a programme and gave me it, I still have it somewhere. Even though I was young I remember him as a really nice man.

    Remember being baffled at how Mike Duxbury managed to get capped for England. He was awful at city, granted much later in his career

    Problem is, though, that I need to put him somewhere, and UG* isn't a recognised position in any known formation...

    When it comes to players in the last season(s) of their careers, it seems as if we've had far more than our fair share of that kind of player; the occasional Thorne or (Gary) Jones doesn't quite balance things out.
