[Newbridge Wolf]

Who was the last international captain we had?

 

[JadeWolf]

Great news for Romain, what a proud moment

 

[Pagey]

Who was the last international captain we had?

Paul ince? But before he arrived at Wolves.

Sorry, meant whilst with us.

Did I imagine it or did Ward captain Ireland? Might have just been one match.

Mcnamara, Miller both captained Scotland, not sure of timings

McNamara once in 2004, Miller 5 times all in 2011

Had a quick google, can’t see anything.

 

[JadeWolf]

Maybe it was Billy Wright?

Moutinho captained Portugal in a friendly 2018

Emlyn Hughes 1980

Maybe it was Billy Wright?

Just been looking. Ron Flowers captained England three times, and Doog captained Northern Ireland whilst with us

 

[ShropshireLad]

Who was the last international captain we had?

At a guess it could be Ron Flowers.

Moutinho captained Portugal in a friendly 2018

Patricio also captained them, a few months later

 

[ShropshireLad]

We’ve had a few who have captained international teams before they joined us but I’d bet a fiver, if I was given fair odds, that it would be Big Ron.

I'll bet ya a pint, next time we get in the Steve Bull.

 

[Newbridge Wolf]

Muscat captained Australia whilst still with us.

First game as captain... a 22-0 win over Tonga! Second game as captain... 31-0 over American Samoa!

When was the last time a foreign born player captained a national team?

 

[Jonzy54]

Thé Doog captained NI after Ron captained England

When was the last time a foreign born player captained a national team?

This a trick question? Foreign born to us, or foreign born to the team they represented?

 

[Wolves Heathen]

Well done Romain, it will be a proud moment for him when he leads the Morrocon team out, Romain is exactly the opposite to the young guys that think they have made it when they play in the premiership a few times.. had to work his way up from humble beginings, has been with us for 4 years now and never been a moments trouble, he has proved himself to a very valuable member of the first team squad, and shown to Nuno and the fans that he deserves to be in the team on merit, and seems to be a very funny guy.

Reminds me of a quiz question in VIZ magazine many years ago......

What nationality is Eric Cantona?

(a) English
Or
(B) Foreign

 

[Nige100]

Fabulous news for Romain. Pleased for him. All he needs now it to make sure in his role as skipper Paul Lambert never gets the Moroccan national job.

 

[Scallywolf]

Romain is a top bloke, excellent player and is obviously a very popular member of the squad.

its a great honour to be captain of your country and I am sure he is a very proud man.

Well done Romain you are a credit to our club.

 

[ShropshireLad]

I'll bet ya a pint, next time we get in the Steve Bull.

That’s only odds of 2-1 so you’re not on! And if you raise the odds higher then I know that you know summat that I don’t know which you know that you want me to know!

 

[ShropshireLad]

Thé Doog captained NI after Ron captained England

That Pagey is a crafty bugger!

 

[S G Wolves]

Just love the bloke...

 

[Pagey]

That Pagey is a crafty bugger!

Tbh if you read the thread, we named 4/5 International captains since Flowers, whilst playing for wolves

 

[Deleted member 4184]

Just a genuine question, 'cos Saiss is actually French!

 

[thetwistedsock]

Fantastic well done Romain.

 

[Pagey]

Good question, think I read somewhere that Morocco had about 12 foreign born players in their squad. But then a lot of French born players represent African nations, Senegal etc.

I went out walking today and came home knackered. I didn’t read all of it carefully, just skimmed through it, and when the elderflower "champagne” started coursing through my veins all hope was lost and I just had a guess for the Hell of it.

When you look at the French team you can see why!

 

[maws]

Another leader no wonder our defence is so solid, Coady Patricio Saiss, and Boly is just Boly

 

[Dubwolf71]

When was the last time a foreign born player captained a national team?

Off the top of my head, Andy Townsend, Mick McCarthy with Ireland. Plus Roy Keane as he is from Cork.

 

[Dubwolf71]

Did I imagine it or did Ward captain Ireland? Might have just been one match.

Don't remember him ever getting the captaincy.

 

[Hawkguy]

If we signed Jonathan David... he'll captain soon.

In all seriousness, this is awesome for Saiss. He's a very good player who is extremely versatile and I'm glad to have him at Wolves. Congrats!

 

[Guzeppi]

Muscat captained Australia whilst still with us.

First game as captain... a 22-0 win over Tonga! Second game as captain... 31-0 over American Samoa!

Legend!

Well done to Romain, he's a very good player with a great attitude. He's had an excellent season.

Congratulations Romain, what a proud moment!
