Originally posted by Jorge Porbillas View PostBack in the day when the FA treated the other Home Nations with contempt, Wales fielded three non-league players against Scotland in 1930.
The FA refused permission for non-English players to be released from their Football League clubs for international duty meaning Wales had to select a team from Welsh clubs. Of the XI who played, Fred Keenor had 29 caps, Len Evans the keeper was winning his second cap whilst the other nine were debutants.
Len Evans (Cardiff City)
Fred Dewey (Cardiff Corinthians)
Wynne Crompton (Wrexham)
Billy Rogers (Wrexham)
Fred Keenor (Cardiff City)
Emrys Ellis (Nunhead)
William Collins (Llanelli)
John Neal (Colwyn Bay)
Thomas Bamford (Wrexham)
Walter Robbins (Cardiff City)

Japan in the 2014 World Cup against Ivory Coast, a game the memory of which still causes me grave disappointment:
Kawashima (Standard), Uchida (Schalke), Nagatomo (Inter), Morishige (FC Tokyo), Yoshida (Southampton), Hasebe (Nuremberg), Yamaguchi (Cerezo), Honda (Milan), Okazaki (Mainz), Kagawa (Man Utd), Osako (1860 Munich)
