It has been almost five years since Bryan Richardson sold Chris Kirkland to Liverpool. Part of that deal for £6m was that City would receive £250k if the keeper played for England.
Finally tonight,it happened when Kirkland came on at half-time of England's 4-0 win against Greece at Old Trafford. Also benefitting from Kirkland's England debut was his father who pocketed £10k from a bet with the bookies that his son then aged 13 would play for England.
Claus Jorgensen played for the Faroe Islands in the Euro 2008 qualifier against Georgia. Unfortunately for the City midfielder, his adopted country were thrashed 6-0 in Toftir.
Coventry kid James Quinn played for Northern Ireland in their 2-1 win in Finland,but Steve Staunton's Republic Of Ireland side were beaten 4-0 at home by Holland.
