What is your best England XI consisting solely of uncapped players?

This is such a hard one... even donkeys like Carlton Palmer and Alan Smith got caps...

1. Steve Sutton
2.
3. Julian Dicks
4. John Ebbrell (C)
5. Steve Bruce
6. Earl Barrett
7. Ruel Fox
8. Billy Bonds
9. Kevin Campbell
10. Mark Bright
11. Howard Kendell

Subs:
Simon Tracey
Lee Chapman
Franz Carr
Steve Chettle
Dalian Atkinson

This is a nightmare... my knowledge doesn't stretch that far back and most decent players have had a call-up at some point.

I must admit this is quite tough. I'm not even 100% sure that all the players I've listed have not been capped at some stage. And although born in England many have managed to find family links with other home nations such as Wales etc, which makes it increasingly more difficult.

Here is my eleven.

1. Tony Coton
2. Chris Fairclough
3. Julian Dicks
4. Steve Bruce
5. Paul Elliott
6. Chris Bart-Willaims
7. Robbie Earle
8. Steve Watson
9. Dalian Atkinson
10. Cyril Regis
11. Ian Woan

Subs:

Steve Sutton
Stuart Slater
Rodney Wallace
Mark Bright
Paul Warhust
Ian Snodin
Terry Hurlock
Earl Barrett

Some good choices there... I was gonna put Robbie Earle as well, but he was capped by Jamaica... although I suppose that is only because wasn't capped for England. Similar thing with Muzzy Izzett, who I also considered.

I seem to remember Cyrille Regis playing for england... not sure how many times though.

Warren Barton actually did play for England. I remember seeing him have an absolute stinker at Elland Road in a match against Sweden around ten years ago. He'd just signed for Newcastle, and the Geordies sat near me didn't look too happy!

D'oh! I knew I'd get one wrong... I shall have to think of another right away... Did Gary Charles get any caps?

'Fraid so. Even David Bardsley got caps! Could play Chris Perry/Colin Cooper out of position?

I must admit I did consider Ruel Fox but thought there was a slight chance he could have gained a sneeky cap somewhere along the line.

Franz Carr was a wonderful dribbler very tricky, his main problem was that his crosses and final delivery were generally appalling.

He was like s**t off a shovel too! I believe he was a sprinter as well, and had to choose between athletics or football... I agree though, his game leaved alot to be desired... that's why I favoured Ruel Fox, who I didn't think had been capped.
