In 1985 half the teams in the First Div. wore blue, Everton, Chelsea, QPR,Man C, Leic, Ipswich, Birm'ham, WBA, Sheff W, Coventry, Birmingham, I don't think without some 6 inch thick Football Book of Unusual Facts ,I am ever going to guess it. Need more clues, lol

Just thought, wasn't there a Dave Watson who played in blue at Everton. He could have captained them and managed them. I think he played for Scotland but could have played against them in the youth ages or a friendly or a testimonial match.

Dave Watson is correct -played for and captained Everton: was caretaker manager for a short period; 12 England caps I believe and he played for a Hong Kong Invitation X1 against England

Nice that you let 1066 do all the "hard work" and then pounced :-)

I have just found out thanks to Google Mr Ryan Wilson captained England School Boys as a 16 yr old then changed his name to RYAN GIGGS and played International Football for Wales. Giggs also Captained Man Utd during the 2007/08 season, and then was the Interim Manager, and played against England as a Welsh International, and he didn't wear a bloody BLUE SHIRT. I was cheated out of my prize, my God all you people have taken a leaf out of garawas book.

MY answer of Ryan Greggs is the real answer England DID NOT play a recognised International (and I know the question didn't say it had to be an International) in the build up to the Euros 96 in Hong Kong, they played a club team called Golden FC, who had just finished 3rd in the Top Flight of the Premier League ,( who Folkestone would probably beat 5-0 on a bad day) .
The teams name was changed to Golden Select XI because they had players who had played for The Crazy Gang, Manchester United, Bullen an assistant coach at Sheffield Wed, a few Bosnian and Dutch players, and one Local Chinese player, and England managed to win 1-0.
To even think of excepting this answer from Mr. Near Perth is carrrrayyyzzzzzzyyyy, he should not get the prize of the Mercedes 550 or the Speed Boat, I should, lol.
