Not sure where to put this but I recently saw that Ben Chilwell's dad is from New Zealand....

Unfortunately he was capped by England in the UEFA Nations League (I'm pretty sure this is classed as an official FIFA competition?) so he's no longer eligible for NZ... One that got away!

Is there a list of players that New Zealand lost out on in the International Scene due to them representing another country?

From the top of my head here is a few:

Archie Thompson (Australia)

Ben Chilwell (England)

Rickie Lambert - Unsure if this was just a laugh, or actually had a kiwi grandparent (England)

Ben McKendry (Canada)

Liam Jordan (South Africa)

Levi Hanssen (Faroe Islands)

I think there could be quite a few who decided to choose Australia over NZ, Joe Champness could be the next?
