International Captains

[Jonzy54]

With players from all over the World these days it is often difficult to keep tabs on everyone but I was thinking today of the players who have Captained their Country whilst still at Wolves either from the start or during a game .
Off the top of my head I came up with
Cullis
Wright
Slater
Flowers
Coady
Hughes
Dougan
Moutinho
Saiss
There could possibly be others and apologies if I have missed out any glaring ones but alongside the above maybe Rui(springs to mind because of his longevity) Doyle (similar ) and possibly Muscat
Anyone ?

keane surely did? edit. Not while with us i guess

 

[Minimalist]

Dennison maybe?

 

[Jonzy54]

keane surely did?

I did think about him but wondered if had left us too early to be Captain whilst he was still with us ?

 

[Jonzy54]

Dennison maybe?

Could be I suppose

 

[TheConcourse]

Grant Holt.

 

[CodsallWolf]

Sami Al-Jaber.

Surely I win a prize?

 

[Jonzy54]

Sami Al-Jaber.

Surely I win a prize?

Another who crossed my mind but again I wasn’t sure ,a bit like Mark Williams

 

[Norman Bell]

Is John De Wolf worth a shout ?

Another good call but I looked him up and he only won 6 caps .He is 58 now apparently, it seems only like yesterday

[Jonzy54]

don`t think slater captained england?

You could be right but he was a name that sprung to mind in conjunction with Billy Wright

trying to find out if slater captained the england amateur side but that was before he joined wolves

 

[TooMutchBull]

not sure if this is a captains armband.

 

[JadeWolf]

Was Dave Edwards ever Wales captain? Or Sam Ricketts? Or Hennessy even?!

 

[northnorfolkwolf]

Not trying to be racist but who was that foreign player who scored for us IIRC in the opening game v Sheff Wednesday in a 1-1 draw (I think!)

I seem to think he captained his country but may be wrong.

 

[TooMutchBull]

Kevin Muscat.

 

[old wittonian]

Kevin Muscat.View attachment 23797

Judt about to type that in.

 

[TooMutchBull]

Temur Ketsbaia

 

[northnorfolkwolf]

Temur Ketsbaia

That's him. Thanks. I seem to remember him arriving with the big fanfare but left after 1 season I think.

 

[TooMutchBull]

That's him. Thanks. I seem to remember him arriving with the big fanfare but left after 1 season I think.

Yeah. We could say that about so many players down the years!! I remember his debut, the Kevin Pressman game with the sending off after 13 seconds! Mark Halsey apologetically sending him for an early bath but the sub keeper frustrated us until Ketsbaia scored a screamer off a well worked free kick.

Georgia had quite a few classy individuals back then so not sure if he captained them.
Kinkladze; Averladze; Kaladze; Kobiashvilli.

 

[Jonzy54]

Yes 1 season .24 games and 3 goals

He also scored from a free kick with a thunderbolt shot but Halsey disallowed it because one of their players broke from the wall and was only about 6 yards away when he hit and made us take it again

 

[Mardenboroughs Shoulder]

Hasn't Max Kilman captained the England Futsal team? Yes I know a lot of people don't know he played for them!

 

[WolfLing]

don`t think slater captained england?

No, he was Australian wasn’t he?

 

[whitnash wolf ex.dewsbury]

No, he was Australian wasn’t he?

another waste of a shirt.played 6 games and went back to oz.
but @Jonzy54 was talking about bill

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

That's him. Thanks. I seem to remember him arriving with the big fanfare but left after 1 season I think.

Talking of players that didn’t hang around who I liked Tony Dinning sorry to go off topic. Did Ingermarsson or Ganea ever captain the respected countries of Iceland and Romania?

 

[Achilles Last Stand]

Mixu Paatelainen might have also captained Finland at some point during his long career.

 

[Pagey]

Did Carl Robinson ever wear the armband for Wales? Maybe one for @Wonder Boyo ?

 

[northnorfolkwolf]

Bloody hell, you've got a good memory! I remember him being a pretty good player but as so many it didn't work out; can't remember why now.

 

[Wonder Boyo]

Did Carl Robinson ever wear the armband for Wales? Maybe one for @Wonder Boyo ?

What is this Pagey? Mastermind?!

I can't remember him ever being captain but I might be wrong. He was well respected and seen as a steady Eddie, over 50 full caps. There were an awful lot of experienced players around at the same time as Robinson though.

 

[Baboon]

When we're remembering our great England captains we shouldn't overlook Rachael Heyhoe-Flint.

 

[Manic88]

Jackie Mac
Colin Cameron?

 

[CelebrityWolf]

Denis Irwin perhaps? Luzhny?

 

[SA Wolf]

The great Ricki Herbert for NZ?

 

[Berlin Wolf]

I recalled Paul Ince captaining England, not while at Wolves though. Captain in 1993.
In 1993, he became the first black player to wear the captain’s armband for the Three Lions.
The man himself did not really think about it at the time, he was just proud to be the England captain.

[ombyman]

Breen?

 

[ombyman]

Carl Robinson? Or mixup paataleanan (spelling!).
Kenny Miller?

 

[ombyman]

Last one from me, Berra? Pretty sure he captained Hearts
