There's actually one more than I said, I'd missed Lampard when sorting them into order. Here's a sort of chronological order, so the gaps might help. I might put in the years for the missing ones later depending how quickly people guess them:
1 2 3 Stanley Matthews (34-57) (The Real Exile) 4 Bobby Charlton (58-70) (The Real Exile) 5 6 Peter Shilton (70-90) (suedehead) 7 Tony Adams (87-00) (suedehead) 8 9 David James (97-10) (suedehead) 10 Rio Ferdinand (97-11) (suedehead) 11 12 13 Emile Heskey (99-10) (malvernhatter) 14 Frank Lampard Jr (99-14) (suedehead)

Carragher? Ashley Cole? Or even Joe Cole? David Seaman is another one surely?

Yes, Carragher got his first cap in 1999 and then retired from international football in 2007, only to be asked back in 2010 and win four more caps. The Coles had long England careers (12 years and 9 years) but both made their debut in 2001. Seaman is correct and Ball is not. And yes Hughes's 11 year England career spanned the 60s to the 80s. So, eleven down:
1 2 3 Stanley Matthews (34-57) (The Real Exile) 4 Bobby Charlton (58-70) (The Real Exile) 5 Emlyn Hughes (69-80) (The Real Exile) 6 Peter Shilton (70-90) (suedehead) 7 Tony Adams (87-00) (suedehead) 8 David Seaman (88-02) (suedehead) 9 David James (97-10) (suedehead) 10 Rio Ferdinand (97-11) (suedehead) 11 12 Jamie Carragher (99-10) (suedehead) 13 Emile Heskey (99-10) (malvernhatter) 14 Frank Lampard Jr (99-14) (suedehead)

Can’t still be playing, give us a clue.

Just thinking of the self-publicising ‘Golden Generation’
Of the bigger names
Gary Neville / Sol Campbell / Alan Shearer / Michael Owen / Robbie Fowler all more 90s had probably gone by the late 00s Scholes retired young from internationals Rooney too late Terry and both Coles ruled out.
Could it have been another one like Carragher, a consistent squad player over 12 years or so, but rarely first choice...

That's a good description of the missing number 11 HTC, he won 23 caps. I've put the years in for the three missing players:
1 (1907-20) 2 (07-20) 3 Stanley Matthews (34-57) (The Real Exile) 4 Bobby Charlton (58-70) (The Real Exile) 5 Emlyn Hughes (69-80) (The Real Exile) 6 Peter Shilton (70-90) (suedehead) 7 Tony Adams (87-00) (suedehead) 8 David Seaman (88-02) (suedehead) 9 David James (97-10) (suedehead) 10 Rio Ferdinand (97-11) (suedehead) 11 (99-10) 12 Jamie Carragher (99-10) (suedehead) 13 Emile Heskey (99-10) (malvernhatter) 14 Frank Lampard Jr (99-14) (suedehead)

The b*stard answers were Sam Hardy (1907-1920) and Jesse Pennington (same years) Sam Hardy lived at 14 Prospect Terrace Chesterfield in his England days, which is a much better address for an England player than a 40-acre country estate in Hampshire, and it says he would have won more caps if he hadn't refused to go on tour to South Africa. Jesse Pennington was once England's oldest ever outfield player. Like with Hardy, I was fascinated with his address, he lived on Smethwick High Street. He was a poultry farmer outside the game.

Is “Was” Brown technically right? Controversial.
