2013-14 has been a pretty remarkable season for Albion in terms of players being capped by their country. Ignoring players on loan, we had 4 players (Greer, El-Abd, Maksimenko and Crofts) win a total of 16 full international caps. This number would surely have been higher if it wasn't for injuries during the season to Crofts and Bridcutt (and maybe CMS). The only previous seasons when we have had fully-contracted players earn more senior international caps have been 1980-81 and 1981-82 (when we were, of course, in Division One).
If you wish to include players on loan, we had Stephen Ward and Craig Conway win a further 5 caps during the season.
It is an even more successful story at younger age groups, with an incredible total of 41 caps being earned by our youngsters. The full details (if my research is accurate) are as follows:-
