Five in international squad 10:43 - Aug 26 with 3406 viewsPhilTWTD

Has this ever happened before? I can remember back in the day Mills, Mariner, Butcher and Gates being in the same squad, but I don't recall five at the same time in any squad.

So what does it say about our level of recruitment?


Probably that we have a very limited international scouting network.

Recruitment fitts our level.


Sorry, I thought you said it 'says a lot'.
Four words isn't much TBH.

It's 106 miles to Portman Road, we've got a full tank of gas, half a round of Port Salut, it's dark... and we're wearing blue tinted sunglasses.

5 players selected for England France Belgium Italy for example would indicate a very high level, 5 for Gibraltar San Marino Faeroes etc would indicate a very low level. 5 for ROI indicates we recruit at and for the level we are.

Veni Vidi Participatur. Now we can get back to competing.

Back in the day this would have led to a group photo of those five holding up an Ireland scarf on the Portman Road pitch. Some dressed in club tracksuit perhaps a couple in jeans. All smiling. Then on the cover of the matchday programme.


Or in their club sponsored Datsun Cherries with their thumbs up.

Not sure

but I do wish it was 5 from spain, or even an iceland,

but 5 internationals from ireland just doesnt sound likes its a great coup to have in a squad looking to compete at the very top of english football

Individually they are solid players, but it doesn't really take much to be chosen for ireland does it.. lol

spain yes, but a team with 5 iceland players wouldn't be competing at the very top of english football either!

Hadn't heard of him. Anthony Elding's son. Juventus also said to be interested! Sort of player we'd bringin for the U21s, had a few from Irish clubs we've brought in at a similar age over the last couple of years.

He's not actually Irish [yet!], doesn't have a passport so is having to sort out his residency requirement to be eligible for them for the future

Think he's lived he since he was quite young and will be all sorted out for next under 21,s matches.

Yer, Anthony's son.
I imagined it was for the under 21,s. Though quite a few teams interested apparently.
Was told 'Ipswich are the highest team up the ladder showing an interest in him'

Will qualify on the same basis Tommy Smith did for NZ and Jordan Rhodes for Scotland.

That we have 5 players picked for a minor football country's national team says a lot about our level of recruitment in recent years.

Wondering if Whymark/Beattie/Mariner/Talbot/Mills were called up together in 1977.

Certainly Whymark, Beattie and Mariner played against Luxembourg away and Mills and Talbot were around then

Edit:Just noticed the answer in another part of thread Woods instead of Mills.
