Has any outfield player had more than Ashley Cole's 107 International Caps without scoring for their country? If so, who?

Cannavaro is very close. 136 caps. Only two goals - both in friendlies; none in competitive games.

I recall this piece of trivia cropping up when Cole reached 100 caps, I'm not a secret specialist in 1960s Swedish football unfortunately!

Having just looked him up, he played 115 times for Sweden and is the only other player to have 100+ caps and no goals. He was also a centre-back, probably making it stranger for him not to have scored a goal than it is Cole.

He also played ice hockey for Sweden. He's miles cooler than Ashley.
