Bryan Douglas and Colin McDonald from 1958 squad with Alan Peacock and George Eastham from the 1962 squad but surely they are others who didn’t go to a tournament. Just 7 additional but note Eastham never played for Winterbottom. He made his debut for Ramsey in May 1963. Blunstone McGuiness Holliday McNeil Crawford O'Grady Hinton Sad news about Tommy Banks. Last England International who was born in the 1920's. Colin McDonald takes over the poisoned chalice now. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eastham one of what was reasonably common in those days to go to a tournament uncapped then.. Of the other two who went to the 1962 World Cup uncapped Alan Peacock debuted during the World Cup but Jimmy Adamson never got a cap (Ted Burgin, Ken Green, Harry Hooper in the 1954 squad and Maurice Setters in the 1958 squad (But he didn’t travel) the only others to be in a tournament squad and never get a cap.) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Octopus of Odstock 2,080 Posted June 14 Apologies it's actually 8. Ken Brown as well. So with McDonald, Peacock and Douglas, you can still field a team of Winterbottom players but no subs (as per the time I guess) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bryan Douglas still attends Rovers matches at Ewood Park, and has walked onto the pitch on occasion in the last 12 months. No mean feat for a player of his era. Turned 90 last month. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He has no Bulgarian wiki so it's complicated. If you selected the 1937-born player from this page, it will direct you to Georgi Dimitrov who played in 1956 Olympics. What's contradicting is he only played for the national team until 1958. No reference linked in the wiki mentioned him being part of the 1962 squad. In the Polish and Hungarian wiki, there is a page for the player born in 1937 but never debuted for the national team. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Transfermarkt now also listed him as part of the squad. I'm still not convinced because there is no article that mentioned him being part of the 1962 squad. Only the 1974 squad when he was an assistant manager 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Still synonymous with own goals in modern Italian football parlance, to the extent that if you put his name into YouTube you get a bunch of "autogol" compilations that don't mention him at all.
