I think the only rules are that you have to play in English non league. The Welsh C team is drawn from the Welsh Premier hence Clifton qualifying for England not Wales. Pretty dumb rule if you ask me.

Grant and Crocombe. Incidentally, for a bit of Sunday evening trivia - Crocombe isn’t the first New Zealand international goalkeeper we’ve had on our books. Can you name the other?

P.S. Rob should know this one.


I know this one, but the clue was that u didn't say played for us as I dont think he ever did!

You are correct. Not for the first-team, anyway. Far more international caps than Crocombe, mind.

‘Twas indeed. It sticks in my memory because I recall he was introduced by a Town fan living in New Zealand who shared the surname of my old science teacher, who would not long after get sent to prison for shagging one of his pupils.

Funny how the mind works.

How do we know Town players weren’t picked but refused the chance to play? Efete and McAtee being the most obvious candidates.

I'd be surprised if any player turned down the chance to represent their country, C level or not.

Didn't Fairclough seem to ignore our players when we were in non-league before?  Not bothered mind, less games/risk of injuries etc. for us.

A few years back Paul Fairclough brought England C out to the Falklands for two matches, one against the Falkland Islands team and another against a British Forces side. It wasn't made up of National League players, I think there was one or two from Conference N/S but mainly the division or two below within the London area.

Point of interest from a Grimsby perspective is that there were three lads from Grimsby in the Forces side, one of them was the goalkeeper who ended up Man of the Match and another scored both goals in a 3-2 loss. Fairclough was really good to be fair, came and delivered a training session and did Q&A with aspiring coaches, along with his GK Coach (who in further pointless info did the co-commentary when we lost to Dagenham in the FA Cup a few years back).
