The latter in this list is Taylor Garwood-Belis, who made his debut last November in the UEFA League match against Ireland (5-0).
During the March International Records in the Registers, there should be two more-Dan Bern and Miles Lewis-Skeeli received their first challenges to the ranks of “Three Lions”.
However, FA should soon answer the resonant request of 904 by the player, which defended the colors of England in the international arena, former Chalsea football player, Stock City, Arsenal and Seattle Sanuders Central midfielder Alan Hadson.
The exgrade ended his professional career back in 1985, having time to play for England only two matches-a friendly game against Germany (2-0, March 12, 1975) and a meeting in the framework of qualification for the European Championship-1976 against Cyprus (5-0: 0, 16, 1975).
Gadson’s relations with the national team have always been tense – Sir Alf Ramsey imposed a three -year disqualification on participation in matches of the national team due to the refusal to call the youth team under 23 years of age.
But already in 1978, it was summoned by Ron Greenwood, but due to the non -proofing of the starting staff against the game against Brazil, Gadson refused to further participate in the preparation of the national team.
In the end, it came to the fact that after the end of a game career, in 1997, Fa did not support him after a former player was hit, as a result he spent 59 days in a coma and, according to reports, underwent 70 surgery.
As early as 2021, Gadson has been trying to get a satices and confirming his request to remove all his / her professional career from England’s football history.
“I do not want the FA statistics to remain something that would remind me of a demoralizing and very depressing way that I was not taken at all the matches of the England national team, except for two.
I asked Fa to cross out my name from all publications, I don’t want to have nothing to do with them. I am preparing a lawsuit to force them to do it.
My dream of a long international career has been destroyed and has led to long depression, anxiety and panic, which I still go to consultations with specialists.
For me, it will be a great relief if I am removed from my connection with the history of English football, ” – said the former English football player.
Interestingly, in the history of Fa is the first such case when the player refuses to recognize his own career achievements.
In total, Hadson spent 376 matches at the club level for his career, scored 23 goals and gave two goals. Among his trophies is the Cup of Cups-1970/71 in Chelsea.
