Quiz! Can you name every Liverpool player to have gone to a major tournament with England, since 1966?

Liverpool Football Club, a titan of English football, boasts an illustrious history adorned with domestic and European silverware. Beyond the trophies, however, lies an equally impressive legacy: its consistent contribution of top-tier talent to the England national team. Since the triumphant 1966 World Cup, a remarkable array of Anfield heroes has donned the Three Lions jersey on football's biggest stages – the FIFA World Cup and the UEFA European Championship. But how many of these celebrated individuals, who represented their country while still on Liverpool’s books, can you recall? It’s a challenge that tests the depth of any football fan’s historical knowledge.

The journey begins in that iconic summer of 1966, where two integral Liverpool figures, Roger Hunt and Ian Callaghan, were part of Alf Ramsey’s victorious squad. Hunt, a prolific striker, played a crucial role, while the ever-reliable Callaghan, though not featuring in the final, was a vital squad member. Their presence cemented Liverpool’s early post-war influence on the national team. As the golden era of Shankly and Paisley unfolded, more Reds stepped onto the international stage. The likes of Emlyn Hughes, a formidable defender and captain, became a mainstay for England, representing his country at multiple tournaments. Later, the late 1980s saw the arrival of dazzling talents like John Barnes and Peter Beardsley, who, after joining Liverpool, continued to be central figures for England at tournaments such as Euro 1988 and the unforgettable Italia '90. Mark Wright also carried the Liverpool flag at Euro 1992.
