As previously mentioned Bryan Robson only became an England regular AFTER he moved to Untd.

Other West Brom examples would be Bomber and Bobby Hope for Scotland.

I think the Scottish FA had a policy at that time that they would not select a player who plied his trade south of the border.

That attitude changed when Dennis Law went south.

However we were obviously regarded as a fashionable Club in the 1950's as we had no fewer than three players who were regularly selected for England:- Bobby Robson, Ronnie Allen and 'The Tank'.

+ Don Howe.

ps I saw Ray Barlow 4 times in Albion shirt, and worshipped him, but was too young to really appreciate him. By all accounts, though, he was maybe our best ever. He got 1 England cap!!
