I’m guessing Todorov qualifies for this?

Don't think Bulgaria haven't qualified for a World Cup since the days of Stoichkov.

Love revisiting these old threads

Alvin Martin was ruled out of the WC82 because of injury but went to WC86 and played against Paraguay before being dropped.

Martin had a stormer in that match, puzzled many when he was left out in favour of Terry Fenwick for the Hand of God match.

Did Southall play on 1990 & Mohsni in 2018?

Did Southall play on 1990 & Mohsni in 2018?

No, BM made the inital 29, but not the final squad. Wales didn't make Italia 90. Are you thinking of ROI?

If we’re counting squad members who didn’t play, then Sammy McCrory has a spot (as Maldon Blues mentioned 13 years ago!). He travelled to the 1958 World Cup with Northern Ireland (after scoring in his only full international against England the previous year) but didn’t play.

Could extend to Euro Championships. Add Hal Robson Kanu

The world cup was in Chile in 1962. Remembered for the Chile v Italy game. Worth a watch just to hear David Coleman's introduction.
