Can I have a clue for the last one, Dan? Era?

60s - didn't play much for us (not surprising really given the competition). Forward - 2 caps 2 goals.

Frank Wignall

Is the last one.. Well done!


Of the 20 named Franny Jeffers, David Johnson, Gavin McCann, Steve McMahon, Kevin Richardson and Frank Wignall can be considered Everton Youth Products (John Ruddy came from Cambridge United)

So, excluding (the somewhat obvious) Phil Jagielka and Leighton Baines who both went on to play for other pro clubs before rejoining Everton and becoming internationals

who are the other eighteen Everton (post-war) youth products who became internationals - all whilst at Everton

Seamus Coleman, for example, is not a correct answer.

 

[Allezfan]

Labone, Osman, Michael Ball, Royle, Mercer, Colin Harvey, Unsworth, Gary Stevens.

 

[ToffeeDan]

Labone, Osman, Michael Ball, Royle, Mercer, Colin Harvey, Unsworth, Gary Stevens.

OK, excluding Joe Mercer (correct for a bonus point) who was capped before the war.
