i still think it is something to do with the world cup, but I am f**ked if I can find the link
 
Ben Foster - standby for world cup in 2006
 
John Terry - is a c**t.  Played in the 2006 WC, and made the tournament team (or whatever they call it)
 
Richard Wilson - he is on this list?  I don't believe it.  Played all the qualifiers and then dropped for the tournament in 82
 
Patrick Viera - won the wc in 98.  I don't think he was a first choice player during the qualifiers (although I might be thinking of Petit)
 
Nicky Butt - wasn't he voted player of the tournament in 2002 by Pele?  Don't think he was a first choice player for England prior to the tournament.
 
Tony Adams - was dropped for the 90 wc, and then played in the 98 tournament.  Probably stood on the ball or something.
 
Michael Owen - burst onto the scene as an 18 year old in 98.  Probably made tournament team or young player of the tournament (or something).
 
Peter Shilton - probably played in about 15 WC's.  In goal when England could not beat Poland to qualifier in 74 and played in 90.  Not sure about in between.
 
Kevin Keegan - due to injury he only came off the bench in 82 when England needed to beat Spain, and missed a sitter that ensured they went out.
 
They all had significant WC moments??????
 
It is sh*t, I know, but it kept me amused for about 15 minutes.

All I do is make the stuff I would've liked
Reference things I wanna watch, reference girls I wanna bite
Now I'm firefly like a burning kite
And yousa fake fuck like a fleshlight

Well I'm sticking with my "they weren't the first choice when they made their international debut" guess, cos I've got to a point of frustration and have now become belligerent

Blimey before I go to bed. Have we found out what the answer is yet from these sadists?

Considering that 3 of them are goalkeepers I'm going to guess that it's something like "their first position when they first started playing football was goalkeeper".

Sound plausible?

Shall I send Veitch round to the team coach to kick the answer out of him?

i had another look through it and i stand by my option (although others on here are much more likely/plausable)
