Langston Posted 24 April 2014 Share Posted 24 April 2014 sort of Leicester and Euro 2004[edit]Dabizas played regularly for Leicester as they battled to stay in the Premier League, their efforts were inadequate and the team was relegated to the Championship. It seemed like it was going to turn out to be a very disappointing season, but it was far from over. Dabizas was selected for the 2004 European Football Championship Greek squad but never saw any action as an injury kept him on the sidelines. To everyone's surprise, Greece went on to win the tournament, ending a season that had many turning points.[8] After Euro 2004, Dabizas chose to stay at Leicester despite being entitled to a relegation release clause in his contract.[9] Dabizas scored twice during his spell at Leicester, one in the league against Sheffield United,[10] and another in the FA Cup against Charlton Athletic.[11] Similar to Ian Walker then, made the squad for the Euros in '04 but didn't feature. Thinking about it, is he our last England international cap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanSP Posted 24 April 2014 Share Posted 24 April 2014 Izzett has a third place medal at the world cup Better than any Englishman has managed since 1966 Legend But that's flawed when you realise who he played for to get that 3rd place medal...

Nick Posted 24 April 2014 Share Posted 24 April 2014 There was Arnar Gunnlaugsson with thirty-something caps for Iceland but they never qualified for anything (I think they stopped entering at one point ) Loved that fella. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmayne7 Posted 24 April 2014 Share Posted 24 April 2014 Just read that Jeff Schlupp has made the 30-man provisional squad for Brazil, and has a pretty good chance of making the 23 as a left back. Congratulations Jeff! http://www.spyghana.com/black-stars-30-man-squad-is-out/ Any others? Looking at that squad, there's a very big chance he'll go. Even if as a defender primarily, they only have 3 strikers in the provisional squad so the fact that he made his debut for them in that position may well factor into their decision.

StanSP Posted 24 April 2014 Share Posted 24 April 2014 How so? Because he's Turkish and he got that medal playing for Turkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 24 April 2014 Share Posted 24 April 2014 I want to see a statue of Gordon Banks, holding the 1966 World Cup erected outside the ground. Unique part of our club, history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Flair Posted 24 April 2014 Share Posted 24 April 2014 Now just need Tony called up as a shock replacement for Ribery and Drinkwater and Vardy for Carrick and Defoe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finnaldo Posted 24 April 2014 Share Posted 24 April 2014 Because he's Turkish and he got that medal playing for Turkey He was born in London, which makes him a British/English citizen and his Mum is English as well. He's as English as he is Turkish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LanguedocFox Posted 24 April 2014 Share Posted 24 April 2014 Now just need Tony called up as a shock replacement for Ribery and Drinkwater and Vardy for Carrick and Defoe. Not picking on you (honestly) but he's not Tony. The French don't generally use familiar versions of names, except occasionally within families: François, Philippe, Davide, Nicolas are all used as that - not Frank, Phil, Dave, Nick. Same with M. Knockaert. Mind you, it would be good if he got into the French squad - and he might well be there at Euro 2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If either of those 2 are in the squad in the first place then we may as well give up now. Sends all the wrong messages Not picking on you (honestly) but he's not Tony.

LeicesterBran Posted 24 April 2014 Share Posted 24 April 2014 I really that Jeff and Riyad play for their respective countries and do well. It'd be nice to see them produce good performances for their respective countries and it'd be could for our club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
