Young-Jonah pointed out earlier,
‘Not sure whether they will be at the World Cup yet, but found out today, that Villa have only ever supplied 5 players to England for World Cups. Thats right, only 5 Villa players have ever been part of the England squad that has travelled to a World Cup.’
They are:-
1982 – Peter Withe
1986 – Steve Hodge
1990 – David Platt
1998 – Gareth Southgate
2002 – Darius Vassell
(And Peter Withe never played)
