Be a lot more interesting to see this via academy rather than club they played at.

Thinking about West Ham: Ferdinand, Joe Cole, Lampard, Carrick, Defoe, Ince, Glen Johnson - they must all have minimum 50 caps each. Which is so impressive for 1 academy. But vast majority of their caps came once they left West Ham.

West Ham have contributed more to England than Spurs say (and I say that as a spurs fan) but were much higher up on the list because we’ve always had a decent amount of England players in our squad.

By academy could be more difficult though, seeing as some players go through multiple academies; which one gets the credit?

Take Lampard. He was in the academy for a year before being promoted to the senior team. Does that mean West Ham should be credited with every cap he got?
