Stan Bowles - 5

Tony Currie - 17

Even Hoddle in the 80s (different type of character but mercurial player) didn't get as many as he should have and Le Tissier in the 90s only got a handful.
Marsh tells the story that Alf said to him before a match that he only picked him because of the media pressure and any messing and he will pull him off at half time. Marsh replied “jaysus Alf all we get at Man City is a cup of tea”. He never picked again.

Quote When he turned up for his first England call-up, he arrived wearing cowboy boots, a red silk shirt and a lime velvet jacket. Then Three Lions manager Sir Alf Ramsey was not impressed.

He did like to get himself noticed. He also managed to get twice as many England caps as the late Peter Osgood, another brilliant centre forward with a similar lifestyle. Ossie died younger, heart attack at 59, and like Frank was not given to endearing himself to international managers.
