None for us, but Deren Ibrahim at our level (Dartford) has featured for Gibraltar and conceded the fastest Qualifying goal (8 seconds) against Poland.

 

[Harrier94]

We have Zaine Francis-Angol regularly called up for Antigua and Barbuda.

 

[The Jovial Forester]

Jake.Gosling who is on loan with us is apparently one of Gibraltar's top scorers, including against decent sides like Poland.
Eta and Drissa Traore has represented Ivory Coast at u-21

 

[Monkey Tennis]

Harry Panayioutou has only played about 2 games for us because for the first couple of months after signing, he was out in St Kitts bumming about on a beach, presumably. Has reportedly fallen out with Cox, seems to pine for Raith Rovers on his twitter account, and was apparently due back out to St Kitts last month - I guess Cox said no.
The Swedish keeper we had for a few games over Christmas was in their Olympics team and their under 21s.

 

[Solihull Mooron]

Romario Martin St Kitts & Nevis Under 20s. Still yet to make a senior appearance for the Moors though.

 

[DarkSithLord]

We have another Gibraltar Striker in Adam Priestley who is currently on loan at Frickley Athletic.
We also have right back Moziah Solassie who has played for Bermuda Under 20s.

 

[slaphead]

Rhys Browne, now at Macc, played a few games for Antigua when with us but don't know if he's been called up recently

 

[Aberstone]

Club captain Sam Cox is also captain of Guyana.

 

[EnglishRed]

Should this all be in the tinpot thread?

 

[doveranddover]

Was there ever a time when Wrexham players would dominate the Wales squad?

 

[Boz]

Lois Maynard also plays for St Kitts, though injured atm.

 

[Chris FGR]

Recently as well as Gosling and Traore we also had Dale Eve, our second/third choice keeper last season go away on international duty for Bermuda. Keanu Marsh-Brown has been involved with Antigua and Barbuda I believe, and one of our academy lads plays for the Cayman Islands I think.

 

[Luke Imp]

Only internationals we have here are the England C lot - Woodyard (Captain), Whitehouse, Raggett and Habergham.

 

[eightiesrobin]

Two of Altrincham's more catastrophic signings of the past few years were full internationals - Danny Higginbotham and Anthony Griffith.

Both finished their careers having played more for their respective countries than they did for us. Higginbotham played 3 games for Gibraltar, 2 for Alty, Griffiths had 4 games for Montserrat, five minutes for Alty.

 

[Swedes]

Liam Nolan is a Northern Ireland U21 international, and played in games against Ukraine and France earlier this season.

 

[EnglishRed]

Was there ever a time when Wrexham players would dominate the Wales squad?

Of course. Not for a while unfortunately. We've had plenty of full internationals over the years. Not so much since being non league. We still have a few youth internationals though. Also there were Five ex-Wrexham players playing at the most recent Euros.

Reading through this thread I can now quite understand why Gibraltar are the whipping boys of international football!

Higgingbotham was a weird one wasn't it. Seemed like he could never make up his mind.

"So happy to be playing for Chester I LOVE NON LEAGUE"

"Actually can't be bothered to play in a national league I want to join a regional one. I've always been a MASSIVE Alty fan so want to join them. They were my heroes growing up"

2 games in: "Actually I don't like football anymore and will retire"
