With another England squad being met with some disappointment this week, here’s a look back at a number of other uninspiring players who pulled on the Three Lions shirt – just once, but once too many!

1) Francis Jeffers
One cap, one goal – former Arsenal striker Francis Jeffers has a 100% record with England, but his form at club level shows why he never made it into the team again…
2) Joey Barton
More well known off the pitch than for anything he does on it, Joey Barton is another player surely right to only get one England cap.
3) Lee Bowyer
There he is, next to a certain Luis Figo – it’s fair to say Lee Bowyer is another player who never really looked like England material despite a semi-decent Premier League career.
4) Anthony Gardner
What Anthony Gardner did to warrant an England call-up is beyond everyone, and yet there he is.
5) Kevin Davies
Handed his England debut and only appearance at the age of 33, Kevin Davies has to be one of the most pointless call-ups of all time.
6) Dave Nugent
Like Jeffers, Dave Nugent was a painfully average striker who somehow has the unique record of one cap and one goal, which came from literally on the goal line against Andorra.
7) Lee Hendrie
Once regarded as a promising talent, Lee Hendrie had some good games for Aston Villa, but it was all downhill after his solitary England cap.
8) Michael Ball
Barely remembered by anyone, Michael Ball played for Everton, Manchester City and a number of other teams in a very low-profile career which somehow led to an England call.
