Title: Internationalists while at Town Post by: SwindonTartanArmy on Thursday, January 19, 2006, 15:29:32 Was reading the article about Shakes possibly getting called up and Iffy almost getting called up for Scotland a few years ago, and was wondering hat other internatioanlists we have had over the years. From a Scotland point of view im dissapointed that we have only ever had one player play for Scotland while at Swindon. A certain John Walker who won 9 caps between 1911 and 1913. Off the top of my head I can think of Fjortoft (who played in a world cup while at the club) and Bodin. Cant think of anymore players to have been called away for international duty since I have been watching Swindon.

Title: Internationalists while at Town Post by: SwindonTartanArmy on Thursday, January 19, 2006, 15:34:29 Dont think Rory played... picked up an injury if I remeber. And yes I mean full internationals. So Sams "futures team" cap doesnt count. although I was there to witness it! :beers:
