Chunky Norwich 0 Posted March 18, 2011 No great surprise but Crofty''s been called up to the Wales squad. Is he a first choice or is it Ramsay and Ledley?If he plays, this will be the first time I think I''ll ever have seen a current Norwich player line up against England. A weird experience no?

York Canary 28 Posted March 18, 2011 Very strange experience. I''d have thought he would play - played last game and all 90 mins I think. Crofts and Ramsay would be good - they could even go diamond formation;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gandhis homeboy 0 Posted March 18, 2011 Last time he played he was one of two DM in a 4-5-1/4-2-3-1 kinda thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canariesworld 0 Posted March 18, 2011 I like that thought, it could actually make an England game worth watching for a change.OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gibbo 131 Posted March 18, 2011 Shows the sad state of our international team, when I''ll be more interested in Crofts performance than Englands... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GJP 79 Posted March 18, 2011 When I watched him play for Wales the other week he was very much on the periphery of the game and I think he''ll have to make a big step up from that performance if he plays against England. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YellowLittle1 0 Posted March 18, 2011 Will be interesting to see him play, hope he doesn''t play to well and keep Lampard or Wilshere anonymous, no doubt a few vultures will start keeping an eye on him if he does. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Badger 2,405 Posted March 18, 2011 Chunky - didn''t David Jones play against England whilst at Norwich? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Syteanric 1 Posted March 18, 2011 I''d give Crofts a cheer if he scored... why not? he is a Norwich player and we would no doubt wish him well against other teams so why not England? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Largey 0 Posted March 18, 2011 If anyone i.e Lampard, Cole injure him, they are coming straight out of my fantasy team! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Canary_on_the Trent 0 Posted March 18, 2011 Its probably 50:50 whether Crofts starts the match. Although Wales are probably going to need somebody with a bit of tenacity in the midfield, not sure Ramsey, Ledley or Vaughan really provide any so that could work in his favor.

andy cousins 9 Posted March 18, 2011 yes and he injured his knee doing it which was the cause of his early retirement , bloody good player too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Theres only one Ken Foggo 0 Posted March 19, 2011 Ted MacDougall played for Scotland in that infamous 5-1 defeat against England at Wembley in 1975 - he was at City at the time. An Ipswich player (Kevin Beattie) scored one of England''s goals. It''s the only time I''ve cheered a goal scored by an Ipswich player against a team with a City player in it!Ron Davies also played for Wales against England while he was a City player.

Badger 2,405 Posted March 19, 2011 I looked him up. His last game was for Wales against England! He was injured and never recovered."A Welsh international (8 caps), David''s career came to a premature end in May 1978 whilst representing Wales against England."http://www.ex-canaries.co.uk/players/jones.htmHucka - I was only a kid at the time but I remember him as a good player.

Boy Jeffy 0 Posted March 19, 2011 Jones was quality! He took the place of the legendary Duincan Forbes. For a short while the backbone of our team consisted of Jones, Martin Peters and Kevin Reeves. We lost them all, one way or another, over the space of a season or so.I''ll be happy for Crofts to play well and score in a defeat for Wales. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Theres only one Ken Foggo 0 Posted March 19, 2011 I remember going to Dave Jones'' testimonial at Carrow Road in 1982, a few years after he''d retired - I think it was City against an All Star XI or something similiar. Only 1500 people turned up - disgusting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
