When was the last time an English player was called up to the national team from a league other than the PL? Maybe that young keeper? Anyone else?

Jay Boothroyd

Was looking at his wiki and he played for Perugia??? Random place for a young english player to end up haha.

This is from his wiki, very weird to say the least...

During his time at Perugia, he befriended then-Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi's third son, Al-Saadi Gaddafi. At the end of October 2011, Bothroyd said of Al-Saadi:
"Saadi is a friend of mine. I saw him about 10 months ago when he was in London. All this drama. His dad is obviously a tyrant and he dictated over his countrymen through fear but Saadi was never like that. He was always friendly and polite. When he bought his house in Hampstead he asked me what I thought of it. He even came to my wedding. Obviously he used to have parties and stuff and he would invite me to Cannes to watch the Grand Prix. For his birthday he would fly me over on his plane. People who don’t know him might say he’s like this or like that or like his dad, but I’ve never seen that. I looked at him like a friend. He wasn't the best [footballer] but he did it as a hobby. He’s a billionaire but it was something he wanted to do. He wanted to play football, to come in every day and train. And he did it, to be fair. He never expected any special treatment. But obviously there were his bodyguards around. It is very strange for me. People will say to me, 'how can you be friends with this guy?' But you can only judge people on how you see them. He was always nice to me. I never met his brothers or his dad, they must be completely different. It has been weird. He paid for my honeymoon. He asked me what we were doing for it and I told him we hadn’t decided yet. So he said he’d sort something out for me. He paid for us to go to LA for a week and then on to Hawaii. All first-class travel and top hotels. It was very generous. That’s the side I see of him. I don’t see the other side. I don’t know it. There’s always corruption where there’s power, so you never know. His country want him back to prosecute him but they want to kill him apparently. It’s all politics and I don’t really know about it. I just know that innocent people should never get hurt."[10]

Yeah he paid for your honeymoon Jay, but where did he get the money from

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

Seen him probably no more than 3 times and only once this season, granted he had a decent game but I wasn't sitting there thinking "wish we signed him.." Whoever said Arsenal player written all over him is spot on. Good player, probably a bit too raw for top level but who knows.. Wouldn't want to risk £15m to find out, especially with our current needs and funds.

Lets not forget Tom Ince is making the Championship look pretty easy too.
