Mad we are there considering we spent 16 years in the EFL. We are huge ;)

Well I mean the three biggest clubs in England are all red.

All-Time England is RED

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.

Agreed. The three big north east clubs, for example, are conspicuously absent here despite having some of the most productive academies in the country when it comes to English talent, particularly Sunderland & Boro.

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?

Thought Everton would be higher

Wild to think how recently Spurs had half the England XI and now they have none.

Kane, Dier, Walker, Rose, Dele all started

Its surprising how high Spurs are. Who did they have up there from back in the day? Greaves, Lineker, Graham? Who else?

Thought Everton and Leeds would have more caps since they were dominant/good in periods with close to no foreigners allowed in the squad

We all know West Ham brought it home in 1966 ⚒️

West Ham is massive, unsurprisingly enough.
