If we are talking pre-EPL then there must have been a few. Under Bobby Robson they had a great team in the early 80's. Right to wrack my brain and try and recall my Panini sticker album

Mick Mills
Paul Marriner
Eric Gates? (I remember him more for being the smallest player in the album at 5ft 5)
Terry Butcher!!
Russell Osman...

I can picture the keeper but can't recall his name...

Incidentally they also had a player (Dutch I think) Frans Thissen - had a ball out in the shops at the time. It was a heavy weight ball that didn't need pumping up. Sold alongside the Captain's Ball and Wembley ball Okay, I digress...

That's the one! good man. Actually perhaps he wouldn't have played for England considering the exceptional competition in Clemence and Shilton.
