Is this not just a list of players that a good internationals that have not played in the English leagues and so, therefore, can not be any good for their clubs as the British press don't go on an on about them all the time?

no, as most of the players mentioned have played in england

but thanks for your thrilling contribution

Micheal Mifsud 37 Goals for Malta is an amazing effort,bar a stint at Coventry he never really cracked it away from Malta.

No.

31 players have been mentioned.

2 never played in England.

That's 6.45% of players mentioned.

Hope that helps.

55 international goals (more than any Englishman EVER), really can't remember him doing much at club level

Certainly not a bad player...

not bad no...but I remember him being an absolute BEAST at international level (alongside Milan Baros) and his goalscoring record is that of an absolute world beater

certainly not terrible at club level though

I loved watching teams with him in. The ball would go out wide and a cross, suddenly, became SO EXCITING.

Czech Republic in Euro 2004 were one of the most exciting teams I have ever witnessed. They played with two strikers, three attacking midfielders and full backs who were basically wing backs. Absolutely outrageous.

Gazza....always played especially well for England.

Jon Dahl Tomasson springs to mind, thought he was an awful waste of money at Newcastle totally lightweight and one of the weakest ever Premiership signings, though he did do very well for other European Clubs and Denmark, guess sometimes it just doesn't happen.

David Platt
Darius Vassell

David Platt is a very good example.

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

before my time, but i was under the impression that platt was fairly highly regarded in italy?

Most of the Danish team that won the 92 European Championship, though not a certain goalkeeper.....
