I used to rate Des Walker, he had an outstanding World Cup at Italian 90, there was talk of a big money move abroad but Forest wouldn't let him go and by the time he moved to Sampdoria a couple of years later his career was on a downward spiral

Des Walker and Mark Wright ftw
Poacher turned game-keeper
Possible Spurs players and England refusniks 2008 - 2012
I will rule out Woodgate and Jenas 2008 and 2009 last played for England.
We can probably eliminate Dawson (4) and Townsend (5) due to the number of chances they got they are unlikely to have turned down an England place.
You could forgive Ledley King if it was him due to his injury problems.
So the main suspects are with England appearances in brackets (all clubs) :
Lennon (21)
Bent (13)
Defoe (55)
King (21)
Crouch (42)
Walker (10)
Maybe it was colour related and they didn't want the racial abuse from an away trip to Eastern Europe or Spain? or possibly the ones who spent a lot of time on the bench and didn't fancy a Tuesday trip to Bosnia-Herzegovina to sit there?
No country for old men.
Add:
David Bentley (7)
Tom Huddlestone (4)
Scott Parker (18)
My money is on Michael Dawson - he knew he wasn't gonna be one of the first choice centre halves and has young kids.
Scott Parker is also a possibility.
We could work it out from this I reckon:
