I think all of Wheels's answers are correct, but we had a few full internationals for England pre war.
I did find them somewhere the last time this came up.
Ill see if I can dig them out.
Lidovic Quistin as well.

I think that Chris Nurse gained a cap whilst a Halesowen player. Guyana?

Martin o'Connor was also capped
