Gunnar Andersson never got called up to play for Sweden despite scoring 190 goals in 220 games for Marseille. He died nearly 50 years ago and he is still their all time leading goal scorer.
You know you've seen it all when Arteta, Distin, de Castro, di Bartolomeo, di Canio and Trautmann have less intentional caps than Zat Knight.
Sebastiano Rossi not Included in this video? He spent 12 years with AC Milan and won numerous trophies (Scudetto, Coppa Italia, Uefa Champions league, and Intercontinental cup), and never played a single cap as a goalkeeper with Italy National Team...
Dennis Mortimer of Aston Villa. Captained them to the League and European Cup glory. Never won an England cap.
Dan Jones well said. Mortimer should have been capped.
How about Gabi for Spain?
Kezza he still plays U21
Beastgaming FTW are you dumb?
Vevxo obviously not because the person who made this video used a player who only managed to play for U21
No joke if gabi was English he would have 1000 caps
If my auntie had bollox she'd be my uncle
"Di Canio is a self-confessed fascist with a tattoo of Mussolini" and you can't figure out why he was never given a cap? Representing your country is more than just about how good you are, it's that you are deemed fit to be an ambassador for your country on an international stage. Therefore someone of Di Canio's ilk is clearly unfit. A similar decision has obviously been made about Benzema in recent times: that his off-field actions have made him ineligible to *represent* France. If an English footballer happened to be an active member of the EDL and had a swastika tattoo, clearly he should also not be considered for the national team no matter his talent. Actions and beliefs are important when you're being placed in a position with symbolic as well as actual importance.
Agree with your comment in many ways but factually speaking the EDL is not a racist organisation nor is it linked in anyway to fascism.
Daniel Donovan The EDLs not racist ok smh
Amazing. "Factually speaking". Get in the bin.
Daniel Donovan That's the same EDL, where it's leader the convicted criminal "Tommy Robinson" stood down and left because it was becoming too extreme, racist and more violent?
You can't compare Benzema (innocent until proven guilty) with a fascist like Di Canio.
That rule About non-domestic players didn't exist anymore in Beckenbauer's time. Paul Breitner, Günter Netzer and Karl-Heinz Schnellinger all played for Germany while not playing in Germany
Gabi?
Carlo Cudicini was an incredible stopper at Chelsea
After the war, Bert Trautman played for my home town team before getting picked up by City.
Brilliant. Should send this to every premier league team. I can understand di Canio.But Jimmy Case, Dagleish said he was the best centre to play for Liverpool.
Sounds like your falling asleep in this one, comparing to your newer videos.
Shows great improvement!
Make the worst capped players
Matt Martin Yeah, but it should be the worst players capped by good national teams.
Theres a shitload of them
David nugent
Paolo Di Canio wasn't eligible for the italian national team, because of his fascist ideology. Italy condemns fascism in his constitution, it's illegal to show signs of it in Italy. It would only make sense to not have him play for the national side.
Clungebob Cumpants triggered
Wow, I love Di Canio now.
@@BoltActionJokerMaxi You love a man who follows a criminal ideology and who would kill hundreds of thousands of people if he had the chance? And that's not an exaggeration that is what happened when the fascist ruled in Italy.
Buffon is also a fascist and played for Italy.
Ruben Castro should've made the list
good video lads :D looking forward for more such content
I've seen a lot of good Brazilian players that never got called up, they played in Portuguese league and other minor euro leagues
Shout out to Dagoberto, a former São Paulo player who won 3 straight league titles being the key man, but he obviously wasn't capped because... 2006-08 Brazil had "decent" strikers. As I like to say to my friends, if Dagoberto was born 10 years later, winning those 3 titles nowadays, he would EASILY become the 1st choice for Brazil. "Oh but you guys have G. Jesus, Firmino, etc." yeah that's true, but whenever Dagoberto played, he needed only 1 chance to prove he's worth it. I guess he'd need only 1 chance for Brazil too.
Mark noble, Dustin, arteta, Gabi, Bruno
amogh kaushik Bruno was in Spain's euro 2016 squad.
...the West Ham Mark Noble...??...
amogh kaushik Are you talking about Brighton's bruno?
Steve Bruce?
Arsenio Erico, the idol of Alfredo Di Stefano, is probably the greatest player to have never won an international cap, even from Paraguay.
mikel arteta!
For Australian players, you could include Craig Johnson and David Seal. Johnson choose England over Australia, but was never picked by England. Had he chosen Australia, you could argue Australia would have qualified for more World Cups prior to 2006.
David Seal was twice top goal scorer in the Australian National Soccer League, and scored 3 goals at the 1991 World Youth Championship representing Australia. At the time Australia had an abundance of strikers at their disposal.
Andrea Barzagli did not play for one of the illustrious sides in Italy until he was 30. He did however play in the UEFA Cup with Palermo at the age of 24.
he was in that 2006 team
Why do you have a photo of a moto gp rider (aleix espagaro) with the champions league trophy 😂😂😂
Why not, Samuel?
@@HITCSevens Hello! I love your videos!!
You should make a video about that gk, sounds very interesting
Howard Kendall. Best English midfielder never to be capped.
3:40 Yes this is a pic of Alan Kennedy, but the 3rd Liverpool and England midfielder in the 1970s was Ray Kennedy
Hubner was one of the most undereated strikers to play the game
If Distin and Arteta aren't on this list i'll be baffled
If John Robertson isn’t on this list I’m gonna riot
hows gabi not there hes probably better than most of these players
KK_TANZANIA he still plays U21
Beastgaming FTW WTF R U ON GABIS 35
You forgot Vasileios Hatzipanagis
Di Canio is not fit to touch an Italy shirt, let alone put one on.
Why don’t you make a video about Oriundi footballers I find them very interesting
Arteta, how he never got a cap is beyond everyone
......the Mark Noble shouts are bobbins...I'll give you Arteta...he was bloody good...and added to Steve Bruce is Billy Bonds...
Baltazar Morais for Brazil. Top-scorer in Spain for Atletico Madrid.
0:53 you know the guy holding the Champions League trophy is MotoGP rider Aleix Espargaro don't you?
He sounds like he's tired as fuck, normally he sounds a lot more fresh.
Got to mention Dennis Mortimer, captained Aston Villa to a champions league win and never got a cap
Steve Bruce, Howard Kendall, Dean Richards
Other are Rani Khedira, Felix Kroos, Ricky Van Wolfswinkel, Vicente Guaita, Marcelo Lomba
What about Javier Vargas for México?
What about Stubbins' goals for Newcastle, his boyhood club?
Steve Bruce could be included. He played for the England B, though.
He’s probably not one of the best, but it’s a shame Sylvan Distin never got to represent France, and Mikel Arteta and Gabi for Spain
Steve Bruce
You can almost put Borja Valero there, but he has one cap.
Where is Steve Bruce in the honorable mentions
0:47 = “this May be a list of half decent and second rate players” - [While a picture of Dean Marney is up... awkward]
Danilo from Corinthians who also played for São Paulo never got a call, 2 copa libertadores, 3 brazilian Championships, 2 FIFA world club Cup and several titles in Japan also, way better then most of the players in this list.
Vinícius Pereira, who? Which Danilo?
the danilo from man city? 😂
No, Danilo fondly nicknamed "The turtle" by brazilian fans.
He's a fine footballer, but slow as fuck and his work rate is atrocious, but the sure can pass and kick a ball, nowhere near the ability or talent to be called for the brazilian team.
@@herrerasauro7429 Zidane was just like that, but obviously being more talented. That's why brazilians call Danilo "Zidanilo" so often, because of their similar styles of playing the game.
Steve Bruce!!
Boy you sound depressed ☹️
Freddy Adu? 😂😂
17 caps, the last of which coming when he was 21!
wow, wasn't expecting that, what I mean by that is *he still got a cap when he was 21??????* 😂😂
Gidget Hampstertush check your stats before commenting
@@HITCSevens Hello! I love your videos!
DEJAN PETKOVIC! Not a single one! He won a champions league, played for real madrid, and became a legend here in brazil for his ability, yet he was never capped for the serbian national team, where he came from, not a single time! Our league is much more difficult than what you gringos think it is, (otherwise it wouldn’t reveal so many talents) and he still managed to play absurdly well for every team he passed.
He plsyed 5 games
@@kristijanfric7865 i said serbia, not yugoslavia.

Can someone explain to me how a player wins a cup?
Nowadays, a cap (I'm assuming that's what you actually meant) simply represents a call-up to your national team in which a player appears in the game played. Back in the late 19th century, uniforms hadn't been officially adopted yet, so international teams were distinguished by different headgear. They received a physical "cap" to wear during the game and it became synonymous with the above definition.
As for a cup, or trophy, basically win games and be a good team! X-D :-)
Julio Vega ooooooohhhhhhhhhhh 👌👌👌👌
Julio Vega that last part mate I dropped all my medical supplies at my job almost got fired. 😂😂😂😂
Dario Hubner the Italian Jamie vardy, sure he used to be a window cleaner
Rodrigo el Pony ruiz
Wagwan
How about Dario Conca? Argentinian who has the highest salary in the world beating Messi & Ronaldo
How about Steve Bruce for Manchester United?
Steve Bruce for England !
Was he saving the balls with no gloves on😂😂
dale roberts Before the 70s they didn't have gloves
Come on where is Rodney Wallace ?
Mark noble
Mark Noble?
Steve bruce.
This is kinda like asking who was the greatest boxer who never won a fight.
whatever happens happens It's not
Albin Lundholm yeah it is. The best of the worst
Ahem.....
.....steve bruce once scored 19 goals in 1 season FROM CENTRE-BACK!!!!
5:47 why are there so many Trautmanns?
It was the game following his death, they were worn in tribute to him.
ok
Michu Craig Johnston and Steve Bruce
Fanendo Adi?
Is Mario de Castro even real am starting to think he is not
England...Billy bonds
I'm surprised you left off that dog Craig Johnston
chunkz1187 Zimbabwe.
What does Zimbabwe have to do with my post?
He played soccer there, he was wearing a PREDATOR cap !!
DEAN MARNEY?
Just remember, there's a lot of good players at Bilbao and La Liga in general that were and are uncapped.
*spanish players*
Distin?..
Mikel arteta
Gary Hooper for England
ha
Carl Bochanski He is shit
Lol where's arteta ?
so deeprsed
Darren Huckerby or Matt Jansen!
Peter Grealish mat Jansen was going to the world cup till he had the crash so that's that reason
Yep that's the reason! Jansen was left out of the squad for keown that's why he was on holiday in Italy on a bike when he should have been on the bench! Such a waste just like Dean Ashton!
Matt Jansen was special. Absolutely gutted when he had that accident.
couldnt troutman play for england
The Phantom Fishy indeed, then again any fin is possible if you don't trout yourself
ian black 😂
Mark Noble
First like
I think Matt Le Tissier also never played for england, I could be wrong.
Chedly Ouni No, Matt Le Tissier played 8 times for England, but should have been more.
Jimmy Case may not have won any caps on account of him being one of the most brutal thugs ever unleashed on a football field.
There have been plenty of brutal thugs unleashed on an international football field
And they were all thankful they didn't have to play against Jimmy Case, who would have taken brutal thuggery to a whole new level
John P
Vinnie Jones for one,
A cockney thug playing for Wales.
Gabriel henarndez
Neither Dario Hubner or Di Canio were 'great' player. Hubner was a good goalscorer for provincial sides, at a time when Italy had a lot of talent. He was just an in the box player, who had a purple patch towards the end of his career. As for Di Canio, he was crap. A crap player who did well in inferior leagues in Scotland and England. Never worthy of the national team.
Wish I was as crap as Di Canio.
Di Canio played in England, when Serie A was a superior league. The effect of foreign money and sky tv was only beginning to be felt properly from the mid 00's and onwards. Di Canio played for top clubs in Italy, before his move to scotland, but failed at all of them. Not good enough. In England, fans are mesmerised when they see one dribble. we were brought up with maradona, baggio, mancini, giannini, totti etc etc. He was crap compared to the very top playing the game. Who did he play for at his best? West Ham. Ahhh that immensely decorated club...it is totally fine that you headless sheep are entertained by mediocre conveyor belt shit football. what do you call it? smash bang wallop? But our standards are a little higher when it comes to high level football. That's why the english league is basically all foreign footballers, foreign managers, foreign owners and even foreign owned TV. Your players can't even put three passes together. So before you tell me what is crap and what is not, stop yourself and think....aw yes and then fuck off.
Roz Sa If what you say is true then Italian players must have been REALLY crap in the seventies and eighties when English clubs were winning the European Cup almost every year
English clubs weren't winning european cups 'almost every year'. Most of the early and mid 70's were dominated by German and Dutch clubs with English clubs having success in the late 70's and early 80's. It though definitely wasn't a good period for Italian football, but the national team still picked up a world cup in 1982. Franco Baresi and Bergomi two defenders to pick up a world cup medal had more talent in one toe than any english defender in histroy.
Roz Sa You're so right, Italian players toes are some of the best toes to ever play football. Seriously no other country even comes close to the skill level and sheer untouchable brilliance of Italian football players. Still, English teams had their best ever success before foreign investment so its not quite fair to say they are incapable of success without foreign help and you're right Di Canio was about the level of West Ham United so not top level.
Steve Bruce?
