I looked up Woodgate and sure enough, 8 England caps and he spent the whole of 2004-05 on Real Madrid's books with 0 appearances.

No caps whilst actually at Madrid though. Earned his 5th cap at Newcastle before leaving for Real Madrid, earned his 6th whilst on loan at Middlesbrough, and his 7th and 8th at Spurs.Originally Posted by Jimmy Floyd
I know, I wasn't disputing it, just found it incredible that he didn't make 10 caps.
When he was at Leeds, him and Rio were very much touted as England's future, with a lot of people rating Woodgate ahead of Ferdinand. He was a brilliant defender, injuries ruined him.
Injuries and racism.
I was going to say beating up a Pakistani lad outside Majestyks didnt help him.
Years and clubs of the remaining players on my list:
1948-49 - Notts County
1956-57 - Coventry City
1959-60 - Hibernian
1962 - Crystal Palace
1962 - Inter Milan
1971 - QPR
1976 - Crystal Palace
1979-81 - West Ham United
1979 - Crystal Palace
There may be a few more not on my list, so a bonus point if you guess one of those that turns out to be right.
Which of those is the recent player?
I miscounted with Joe Hart being added. Added a line in where there wasn't one.
Fair enough.
Alvin Martin for the West Ham one. No clue on the others.
Close, but Martin got his first cap just after promotion.
Kenny Sansom
Correct, 1 cap in 1979 with Palace.
Is the 62 or 71 guy part of the 66 winning team?
Neither of them were. Interestingly, both played for Fulham at some point in their career.
Stan Bowles for QPR
Are any of the remaining players currently managers?
Earned his first cap in '74, the year after QPR were promoted.
Not currently, although one has been in management for 30 years, and another was briefly a caretaker manager in the Premier League & Championship.
West Ham one has got to be Trevor Brooking.
That Inter Milan one is G Hitchens (can't remember first name, maybe Geoff or Gary?), he was the first player to play for England whilst at a foreign club.
Ah, it's Gerry Hitchens. He died on the pitch of some charity game after he retired.
Close enough, it was Gerry Hitchens. Ah, SvN gets it as I'm posting.
1948-49 - Notts County
1956-57 - Coventry City
1959-60 - Hibernian
1962 - Crystal Palace
Gerry Hitchens – 4 caps – 1962 – Inter Milan
1971 - QPR
1976 - Crystal Palace
Trevor Brooking – 12 caps – 1979-81 – West Ham United
Kenny Sansom – 1 cap – 1979 – Crystal Palace
Some more clues for the final few:
1948-49 - Notts County - Moved for a British record transfer fee of £20,000, strong centre forward. 22 goals in 23 England caps, also played for Everton, Chelsea, Brentford and Arsenal.
1956-57 - Coventry City - Goalkeeper, who also played for Chelsea and Derby.
1959-60 - Hibernian - Striker who started career in Scotland. Also played briefly in Italy alongside Denis Law, before moving to Arsenal and then Nottingham Forest.
1962 - Crystal Palace - Striker who also played for West Ham. Famously scored a hat trick for England in a win over Portugal in the 60s.
1971 - QPR - Maverick forward who also played for Man City and Fulham. Worked as a pundit for many years.
1976 - Crystal Palace - Winger, better known for 30 years in management across all levels in England, including the national side.
Rodney Marsh for QPR one?
Rodney Marsh?
Correct.
1976 - Crystal Palace - Winger, better known for 30 years in management across all levels in England, including the national side.
Kevin Keegan?
This probably is daft as fuck so I apologize I was just trying to think of fellas who managed England.
Terry Venables?
He definitely managed Palace (creating the Brighton rivalry), so I guess he probably played for them.
Roy Hodgson played for Palace or something didn't he? Was he ever actually any good as a footballer? '76 probably too late for him though.
The 1948 one is Tommy Lawton.
Venables got his caps in '64, apparently.
I've looked it up. He did manage England.
Not Keegan, Hodgson or Venables for the Palace player. I'll give it till the end of the day for anyone to get the remaining 4.
1956-57 - Coventry City - Goalkeeper, who also played for Chelsea and Derby.
1959-60 - Hibernian - Striker who started career in Scotland. Also played briefly in Italy alongside Denis Law, before moving to Arsenal and then Nottingham Forest.
1962 - Crystal Palace - Striker who also played for West Ham. Famously scored a hat trick for England in a win over Portugal in the 60s.
1976 - Crystal Palace - Winger, better known for 30 years in management across all levels in England, including the national side.
Roy Hodgson was a winger?
Bet he called himself a right-sided player.
I got no idea papa I was just throwing names out there sryRoy Hodgson was a winger?
I looked up the Palace bloke, never heard of that guy in my life. whopos!
Must be Peter Taylor simply by process of elimination on all other England managers.
Christ we're going to need a few of these in the next few weeks.

We need more trivia to while away the time stuck at home, so here goes.
Can you name the top African league goalscorer for each Premier League season since its inception?
Drogba
Kanu
Adebayor
Papis Cisse

Yakubu
Amir Zaki
Yakubu topped the list 4 times, which is the most. Zaki snuck in with 10 goals in 08/09, level with Adebayor and 1 other.
Lomana Lua Lua didn't have a mad enough season for this.
Gervinho?
Neither of those. Gervinho only managed 9 goals in 2 seasons.

Ndlovu was top African scorer in the inaugural season, with 7 goals.
