Thanks Hedgie. Not sure some fans realise what a big deal this is. It is really not all that long ago when Harry Hardy's appearance in goal for England was the only County player to have evwr won an internationalcap

Well done Adama and Benoni

Yes but for a long time there was only one. Or has your memory begun decomposing as well?

I think Martin Nash playing for Canada may have been the second. But am sure someone will correct me if not.

I have a feeling there was another international cap roughly around the same time as Martin Nash (the Dave Jones' team) but can't think who. And who is Bruce?

My mate thinks with the latest two, it's 14or 15.

Not counting CF Porter and Ash cos they weren't full International. It was Amateur and C team

Bruce Murray played 3 games on loan for us in 1994 but his USA (as opposed to Canada) career ended in 1993. So he didn't win a cap while at County.

Not sure about Nelson da Costa although he was born in Angola so might have done.

Must have the wrong name

I think we had a player for Zambia, can't remember his name.

I think Nelson De Costa played for an African Country.

I had a list some years ago of all of them, think there were seven.
