OUR best player: I would say without a doubt that if Johnny Humphrey (in his peak) played for one of the big boys he would have been capped on numerous occasions.
Consistant season after season, tenacious performer with a full game engine. If he were playing even in todays quicker game, would still walk in to the current England squad.
Agree about Johnny H.He was a full back and winger rolled into one. Also I'd say Colin Powell would have played for England if he had played for a bigger club. I remember him terrorising Ian Gillard of QPR when he was the England full back. There were very few full backs that Paddy didn't leave sitting on their backsides. He could also cross a ball and was the main reason that Arthur Horsfield, Derek Hales and Mike Flanagan scored so many goals.
I know the pedants will point out that he won a few caps, I can't recall him actually doing anything that suggested he was an active participant though.

That's a common misconception. People get confused because he played for England schoolboys which makes them think he had a choice about which country to play for. But he only played for the English schoolboys because he went to school in England. He's 100% Welsh. Could never have played for us.

Flanny played for England B, but I don't think Killer ever did.
They didnt give caps out like confetti in his day.
Dammit! You spoil all my fun.

Wonderful goal against Brazil?
