Woodgate has played for England

So who do we have then

Kevin Davies

Carl Cort

Dean Richards

Not sure about Defoe, Jeffers - depends on how you percieve the question

[LeChuck]

Well...wouldn't that give us at least five players if we worked on the 'uncapped at time of transfer' theory? Therefore, surely it must be still uncapped players.

How much did Newcastle pay for Bramble? I know it was around £7 million somewhere...

Edit: I think I might have it...Chris Kirkland. He's been called up to the squad but I don't think he's actually played, there's always that story in the papers about his dad being due to win a £100,000 bet when he makes his debut.

According to here, Andy Cole never played for england till he joined Man U, so the answer must be players who have never been capped. I have looked at the transfers over 6.5m over the past 15 years, and no other englishman, apart from the 3 listed above, hasn't played for England.

[Radagast]

Ugo Ehiougu ... ?

£8million if I remember right. Kerr-ist.

Bramble 'only' cost £6million.

I've done pretty much the same thing. Checked Soccerbase for any transfers between £6m and £15m since 1995. Nothing.

Maybe it's a trick question and the answer is No. The question opens with 'Can you name 4 players' instead of 'Name 4 players'. You can't name 4 players as there are only 3 meaning the answer is no.

If you look at the sky link above, the question reads "NAME THE FOUR UNCAPPED ENGLISHMEN WHO HAVE MOVED FOR OVER £7 MILLION (IN ONE DEAL)."

What the question doesn't mention is football, but I cant think of any other sport to have such transfer fees.

BTW, this is doing my head in now

No, but it does say this:

In a popular feature, we regularly set really taxing, teasing questions to test even the sharpest of football brains.

The 80th in the series is:

NAME THE FOUR UNCAPPED ENGLISHMEN WHO HAVE MOVED FOR OVER £7 MILLION (IN ONE DEAL).

[Craigman]

Maybe they were involved in the deal but not worth £7 Million, the other part of a swap deal or something ?

Possible Michael Dawson then, him and Andy Reid went from Forest to Spurs for £8m, £4m each.

Irish!

Going through all the years first up is as already said:

Kevin Davies, then Carl Cort, Dean Richards

and then theres nothing

Edited September 6, 2005 by modes98

[Jim J]

Yes, but Dawson is English, and he was involved in a move for over £7m, and he is uncapped

[brfcshabba]

The only possibility is that they include Kirkland as an undisclosed fee of over 7 million.

[FourLaneBlue]

£8million if I remember right. Kerr-ist.

344971[/snapback]

Ehiogu played for England and even scored a header once I seem to remember.

So it must be players who haven't played at all for England, either before or after the fee. Which means those three mentioned...didn't Kirkland have some clauses in the contract to be paid? Maybe those were triggered?

[bellamy11]

Ironically, the clauses most likely include international appearances.

[Presty On Tour]

do we have the official answers yet?

[brfcshabba]

Birmingham didn't pay 7 million for the services of Steve Bruce did they?

Don't bother answering I know they wouldn't pay that much for that muppet

345156[/snapback]

Didn't Dawson move for just over 4 mill?

[philipl]

Soccerbase- impressive.

Now what nationality is Alan Shearer?

Apart from the list not being complete, there are certainly five complete duds there who went for a combined £40m+
