Footie Dome takes a look at 5 footballers who we think should have played for England, but instead they were either never given the chance to shine or injuries plagued their careers.
1. Malcolm Christie (Malcom Neil Christie)
He played for several non-league clubs (Deeping Rangers & Nuneaton Borough) before making his break into top flight football with Derby County, Middlesbrough, and finally Leeds United. He was deemed to be a pacey forward with the ability to beat defenders when he needed to. He did make his mark on the international stage with the England U21 squad, but would never breakthrough to the senior squad due to several of his long term injuries. His football career came to an end with Leeds United due to a spinal injury. After much advise from his doctors, he called it a day on 29th January 2009. He played 11 games for the U21 side and scoring 3 goals. These days, Christie has retired from football and is now a car salesman for Aston Martin.
