Sunday night head scratch.

When was the last time an Albion player lined up against England ?

Talking about full international.

Criteria:

1) Not for UK teams or Ireland- there's been a few.
2) Must have started the match.


I'm not sure there is one. (Till the next match- perhaps).

Leon Balogun played for Nigeria against England at Wembley around 2018

And he started :bowdown:

Does he actually count as a being a Brighton player when the game was played?

The game took place on 2nd of June 2018 and although it had already been announced he'd signed a contract and was joining us on free transfer at the end of the 17-18 season, technically football contracts don't expire until 30th June, so his Brighton contract wouldn't have started until July 1st. He was still listed as being a Mainz 05 player during the 2018 World Cup.

Nope. So we move on. If only out of intrigue to find out the next one.

Wonder how many will line up against England before another one plays for England?

José was on the bench when we played Colombia in ‘18 I think, probably the closest ?

Sorry, just seen that for some reason Ireland doesn't count.

Because it makes the question rather easy and boring.

I don't think outside of the UK and Ireland there are any who have actually started a match against England as an Albion player in contract.

Propper came on as a sub. But that seems to be it.

Moder may well be the first.
