International Bees

[Nada Bee]

Sorry if there is a similar thread to this but wanted to see if we’ve ever fielded a total international XI?

I noticed against Millwall [at Griffin Park!] we started with 9 foreign players. But have we done 11 yet? Or had 11 at the same time?

Not that it makes any difference but am sure it’ll come up on a pub quiz some day (in the Hive)

Against Millwall at home***

Do you mean non-UK nationals or non-homegrown players by the FA definition?

This is getting more confusing than I imagined

Both?!

For example, David Raya qualifies as a homegrown player as he was developed at Blackburn Rovers since he was 16-17. I assume (if he has any sense) he has retained a Spanish passport.

Jonny Mitchell, in the B Team, on the other hand, is not homegrown, being developed at Falkirk, but (I guess) has a UK passport.

Ah i see, i would go just with non-UK thenn to make it easy. So Raya would count as Spanish

Not that I know of.
At the moment though, we have Josh Da Silva, Rico Henry, Ollie Watkins and Ethan Pinnock all starting so it will not be anytime soon.
I do know that we could easily field one though so it may well happen just not yet or even sure when.
