John Roberts did - i think it is more like 7 'keepers who have been capped.

Nope. Wrong on both counts

 

[Napster]

John Roberts did - i think it is more like 7 'keepers who have been capped.

Excellent shout. In my adjusted reckoning then, I make it 8. Most have been named already. Still not seen 3 of them.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Peter Taylor was one of the keepers.

I named Brian Lloyd as an answer for a different question but he was capped as well.

 

[C C Csiders]

Lawrie Leslie played for Scotland five times.

Martin Thomas played once or twice for Wales.

 

[Napster]

I;m not having Peter Taylor or Tes Bloody Bramble as they weren't keepers for their country.

 

[Napster]

One keeper to get.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

I;m not having Peter Taylor or Tes Bloody Bramble as they weren't keepers for their country.

You should have worded the question differently then. I have no sympathy for sloppy drafting.

Also, they were pretty inspired answers.

Otherwise good quiz again. I like this feature:thumbsup:
