What's the opposite of the Woke Bridgade?
This thread got me thinking. Two of the players in the England Womens Euros Squad used to play for Notts County Ladies (Alex Greenwood and Ellen White).
This probably makes them, internationally speaking, the most successful footballers ever to represent Notts County FC. Have we ever had any other players (or ex-players) who have won a Euros or World Cup with their country?
Martyn Busby won the Under 18s 1971 Euros playing for England.Quote:

I think Arthur Mann won Eurovision once
(or was that 'Brotherhood of....')

We'll go walking out
While others shout of war's disaster
Oh, we won't give in
Let's go living in the past
Once I used to join in
Every boy and girl was my friend
Now there's revolution, but they don't know
What they're fighting
Let us close our eyes
Outside their lives go on much faster
Oh, we won't give in
We'll keep living in the past
