Was working through other options and can rule the below lot out.
Micah Richards, "burst onto the scene" early, but didn't go to one young enough. Gerrard was probably 20ish, Beckham was 21 before even a call up. Lampard a late developer. Carragher too busy racking up 100s of U21 caps. G Nev 20 at Euro 96.

Add in P Neville.
Think his brother had turned 20 though for the 1996 tournie.
Probably because it was spelt Bryan
That's another
7 to go...
Were there not 13 and we've already had...
Owen, Rooney, Sterling, Saka, Bellingham, Walcott, P Neville, Barry
Yeah, 5 sorry
I'll have a few guesses now...
Shaw, Rashford, Wilshere
Might be some old stinger from decades back that'll be a push to get, but don't think any of the 66 World cup gang were under 21
Shaw and Rashford yes, Jack Wheelchair no
The earliest one was Euro 96 (Phil Nev)

Did Oxlade-Chamberlain squeeze into one?
Yep, he was just about 19 still at Euro 2012
Rio Ferdinand?
Not Rio
One of the remaining two someone will probably get soon, the other one I'd be very impressed!
Owen Hargreaves?
❌
Is one of them an obscure third choice goalkeeper?
Both outfield players, one of whom will probably make the Euro 2024 squad if fit (he's not still a teenager)
And the other one has retired
Assume the retired one isn't from a tournament 30-40 years back or something?
06 World Cup
EDIT..forget this, had missed the 1996 one being the earliest
Did Trent just about slip into one?
Yep, 2018 WC
The remaining one is the guy who's been left last with the other 3 people I've put this quiz to 😅
Had to get the squad list up, Aaron Lennon presumably?
Haha yeah
I was quite surprised there were none before 96. I guess Duncan Edwards could have been one.
He's the absolute given, but yes, you'd have thought one of the legendary players of old would have made it.
I thought it was going to be some obscure player like Prinsep from another century, before remembering world cups didn't exist then!
