I was thinking about Owen Hargreaves the other day, and how it was so unusual when he got his first England cap, as he had never played for an English team (or lived in England!)
Looking up Hargreaves on Wikipedia told me that he was not the first player to be in this unusual situation, as one Joe Baker did the same ( playing all his football in Scotland and Italy prior to his first cap).
This has got me wondering about other players who have done this (got an international cap not having played in that country's national league).
Who else did it?
