Question for Welsh football stattos - Cardiff players scoring for Wales

[Eric the Half a Bee]

When was the last time 2 Cardiff City players scored for Wales in the same game?

It's not a quiz question. I don't know.

Cheers, but I'm a better researcher than quiz champion!

My gut feeling is that it hasn't happened before, but who knows.

I seen something earlier saying it was Vs England in 1927. Can’t say I checked it though.

Just looked that game up - a 3-3 draw with Len Davies of City scoring twice, but the other goal was scored by a jack.

I skimmed back through 50 years of results and couldn't find another example of it happening.
Someone had better find out soon cos I bet WOL are waiting to publish the story as soon as its posted.

Really, only one City player scored...

Phil Stead, author of 'Red Dragons: The Story of Welsh Football', posted following tweet last night which suggests it hasn't happened before:

Pah! We had the first two Cardiff City players ever to score for Wales in the same game.

An interesting fact about two Cardiff City players in one international is that Fred Keenor captained Wales against Scotland who were captained by Jimmy Nelson and the game was at Ninian Park. Not sure if it’s happened since but it was a unique record for years that two players from the same club captained their countries on their home ground. There is a photo of the toss up knocking about somewhere.

It was Jimmy Blair. Think 1924. There's a picture in a book I've got with them shaking hands, but found this on internet

I wouldn't mind getting that 'retro' City top.

[BINGE THINKING]

I'm pretty certain that last night was the first time that two City players scored for Wales in one match. The best goalscoring performance for Wales by a City player is Mel Charles' four goals against Northern Ireland in 1962.

Question

Based only on the time they were Cardiff City players name four players from the last decade who have scored more international goals in that period than they have or did for the club.

Sorry, you’re quite correct, Jimmy Blair

It’s the style of a rugby league top isn’t it. In the Keenor and Blair photo, it does look as though they’re wearing their club socks, pity it’s not in colour. I know it’s a tradition for the Barbarians rugby side that the players wear their club socks, just wondering if international football was the same all those years ago.

Yes, it was. Both wearing City socks

I'll try Gary Medel, Eikrem and Odemwingie.

Bacuna?
