Mark Draper
English midfielder Mark Draper started out at Notts County in the
late 80s and earned U-21 caps in 1991. He was later signed by Brian Little at
Leicetser (1994/95) and then Aston Villa 1995/2000). He did receive a call-up
to the full National Team by Glenn Hoddle in 1996 but stayed on the bench and
was not called up again.

Wim de Connick
1980s Waregem goalkeeper Wim de Connick’s opportunities were
limited at the Belgium National Team with Jean-Marie Pfaff, Michel Preud’homme
and Gilbert Bodart among others ahead of him. He was selected as a back-up
goalkeeper in Belgium’s 1984 UEFA European Championship squad but never gained
a cap.

Francesco Dell’Anno
Italian midfielder had a good spell at Udinese in the
early 90s. This paved a way for a transfer to Inter in 1993. He was unable to
grab his chance and failed to make an impact. This all but ended any
International prospects.

Pascal Nouma
French forward Pascal Nouma was a reliable ‘joker’ for PSG as an
emergency forward or key substitute in the 1990s. He did gain caps at U-21
level, but full International honors remained elusive, despite relatively
successful spells at Strasbourg, Lens and Besiktas among others.

Mariano Bombarda
Spanish-born Argentina Forward Mariano Bombarda started out in
Dutch Football. After a successful spell, he earned a transfer to French club
Metz, but was disappointing and soon returned. Despite maintaining his
goalscoring form back at Groningen and then at Willem II, he was never called
up by Argentina, nor potentially Holland.
