Allardyce (or Bruce, for that matter) would succeed Roy Hodgson in being an English England manager never to have played for England.
Would that make them fairly unique? I think even Del Bosque played for Spain, back in the day, for example, even though he's far more renowned now as a manager. Sven Goran Eriksson never played for Sweden, but then he's never managed them, either, so he's not part of the set I'm thinking of.
