1871 - Reading FC International Players

Future International Dates

NB This page is not up-to-date.

This page shows the dates when Reading's current international players may be on show for their country (but note that obviously the existence of a fixture shown below does not guarantee that a Reading player will be taking part, particularly for age-group players where squad rotation is commonplace). Any times given are local time unless otherwise stated.

The order of players on this page is:
(a) Full internationals
(b) England age-group internationals
(c) Other age-group internationals starting with the oldest
(d) Ex-Reading players or ex-internationals, where I have not yet moved the information to the biographies in the "Where Are They Now?" section.

For a full list of Reading international players, past and present, go to the "Where Are They Now?" Internationals page.

Shaun definitely did not play in any Bermuda full international matches not listed here but may have played in other exhibition games.

Omar Daley (Jamaica)

Omar said that he had played 21 internationals for Jamaica before joining Reading, scoring nine goals. That doesn't quite agree with my list below (although it's possible that the games in the Copa Caribe didn't count as full internationals).

2004 Olympic Games qualifying:
CONCACAF teams use an Under-23 squad (players born on or after 1/1/1981) for qualifying, but are allowed to use three overage players at the Olympics. There are 25 teams vying for two places at the Games in Athens in 2004.

1st round:
Sunday, 7th September 2003 - Cuba (away), at Estadio Pedro Marrero, Havana (drew 1-1 - Omar was not in the squad due to an agreement between Reading and Jamaica)
Sunday, 12th October 2003 - Cuba (home), at Tony Spaulding Sports Complex, Kingston (won 1-0 and 2-1 on aggregate - Omar started the game but was substituted after 65 minutes)

2nd round:
Sunday, 16th November 2003 - Guatemala (home), at National Stadium, Kingston (won 2-0 - Omar started but was substituted after 75 minutes when the score was already 2-0)
Wednesday, 19th November 2003 - Guatemala (away), at Estadio Marquesa de la Ensenada, San Marcos (lost 1-2 but won 3-2 on aggregate - Omar played)

Final qualifying round:
2nd-12th February 2004 in Mexico - tournament for eight teams. There will be two groups of four (Jamaica are in Group B alongside Mexico, Trinidad & Tobago and Costa Rica), with the top two sides in each group progressing to semi-finals. The two finalists both go to the Olympic Games in Athens but they will also play a final match, presumably to assist with seeding at the Olympics.

2006 World Cup (draw on 5/12/2003):

Second round (over two legs) - Jamaica are a seeded team:
1st leg - 12-13th June 2004

Within 12 months of October 2003 (believe it when you see it!) - England (away)

Under-23 friendly:
Thursday, 9th October 2003 - Arnett Gardens (lost 2-3 - Omar played the first half; the game was a warm-up match for the Olympic qualifier three days later)

Under-18 tournament (Jamie was not in the squad):
4th-9th June 2003 - Lisbon International Under-18s Tournament, Portugal

Under-19 friendlies:
Thursday, 24th April 2003 - Germany (away), Elversburg (lost 2-3 - Jamie played the second half).
Thursday, 21st August, 2003 - Poland (away), Warsaw (Jamie is on stand-by for the squad)

Under-17 training squad?:
England had been looking at Jamie towards the end of the 2001/02 season, and he was called up into an England squad. As the only scheduled Under-17 games were those in the UEFA Under-17 Championship in Denmark and Jamie was not one of the players that went to that tournament, I assume that he was actually only called up for a training squad.

Simieon Howell (England Under-18 / Jamaica Under-23)

For a view of Simieon's England international debut against Scotland in the Under-15 Victory Shield on Friday, 1st December 2000, and details of his other international call-ups, go to an article in the features section of this website.

Simieon was named in the England Under-18 squad for a friendly game away to France in Limoges on 13th November 2002, but had to withdraw due to injury.

2004 Olympic Games qualifying:
CONCACAF teams use an Under-23 squad (players born on or after 1/1/1981) for qualifying, but are allowed to use three overage players at the Olympics. There are 25 teams vying for two places at the Games in Athens in 2004.

Simieon was named in the 32-man Jamaica training camp for the Olympic qualifiers in July 2003.

1st round:
Sunday, 7th September 2003 - Cuba (away), at Estadio Pedro Marrero, Havana (drew 1-1 - Simieon played the first half)
Sunday, 12th October 2003 - Cuba (home), at Tony Spaulding Sports Complex, Kingston (won 1-0 and 2-1 on aggregate - Simieon was not in the squad)

2nd round:
Sunday, 16th November 2003 (5pm) - Guatemala (home), at National Stadium, Kingston
Wednesday, 19th November 2003 (8pm) - Guatemala (away), at Estadio Mario Camposeco, Quetzaltenango

Final qualifying round:
2nd-12th February 2004 in Mexico - tournament for eight teams. There will be two groups of four (if Jamaica qualify, they will be in Group B alongside Mexico, Trinidad & Tobago / Grenada and Costa Rica / Guyana), with the top two sides in each group progressing to semi-finals. The two finalists both go to the Olympic Games in Athens but they will also play a final match, presumably to assist with seeding at the Olympics.

Under-19 tournament (in Oberndorf, Germany)
Jamaica sent their Under-20 squad to the tournament. Games were played with two halves of 25 minutes. There were two groups of four teams - Jamaica were in Group A. Simieon was named in the squad but as far as I can tell did not play in any of the games and so presumably did not travel:
Friday, 15th August 2003 - Freiburg (lost 0-3)
August 2003 - Vitesse Arnhem (drew 0-0)
August 2003 - Botafogo (drew 1-1)

Final Group A table:

	P	W	D	L	F	A	GD	Pts
Freiburg	3	2	1	0	6	1	+5	7
Botafogo	3	0	3	0	3	3	0	3
Vitesse Arnhem	3	0	2	1	1	3	-2	2
Jamaica	3	0	2	1	1	4	-3	2

7th / 8th place match: August 2003 - Atletico Madrid (drew 1-1, but lost 5-4 on penalties)

Ahmet Rifat (England Under-17, Scotland Under-17)

Ahmet took part in a 40-man Under-17 training squad in Scotland in August 2002. He has a Scottish mother, allowing him to qualify for that country, and also qualifies for Turkey (through his father) and England through his own birth-place.

England Under-17 friendlies:
Wednesday, 11th December 2002 - France, Glanford Park, Scunthorpe (won 2-0). Ahmet played the first half.
Wednesday, 19th February 2003 - Greece, Drama (won 1-0). Ahmet played the second half.

2nd UEFA Under-17 Championship, second qualifying round:
England and Scotland played in a mini-tournament against two other countries. Ahmet could in theory have appeard play for either England or Scotland in this tournament, but was not named in either of the initial squads. Apparently he was on stand-by for the England squad but did not receive a late call-up. England qualified for the final tournament.

2002/03 UEFA Under-17 Championship final tournament:
7th-17th May 2003 - Portugal
Ahmet was not in the England squad.

Nordic tournament:
29th July-3rd August 2003 - Norway. Not sure if Ahmet will be eligible for this.

Peter Castle (England Under-16)

31st Montaigu tournament (Peter was a late addition to the squad):
Wednesday, 16th April 2003 - Russia, Saint-Georges de Montaigu (won 3-0 - Peter played)
Thursday, 17th April 2003 - Gabon, Bouffère (won 2-0 - Peter started the game but was shown a red card after 15 minutes)
Saturday, 19th April 2003 - France, Montaigu (lost 1-3)

Group A table:

	P	W	D	L	F	A	GD	Pts
France	3	3	0	0	14	1	+13	9
England	3	2	0	1	6	3	+3	6
Russia	2	0	0	2	0	6	-6	0
Gabon	2	0	0	2	0	10	-10	0

Monday, 21st April 2003 (1.30pm) - third-place match at Montaigu against Portugal, Republic of Ireland or Japan

Scott Murray (Scotland future)

Scott played one game for the Scotland future side (essentially a "B" team) before joining Reading but has missed games since then, sometimes simply because his club side had a fixture on that date. He was however recalled to the squad in December 2003. All games played by the future side are really friendlies but they have been combined into a tournament called the Future Cup.

Future Cup:
Tuesday, 17th December 2002 - Germany, at Stadion am Bruchweg, Mainz (drew 3-3 - Scott came on as a substitute after 41 minutes when Scotland were losing 1-0)
Tuesday, 25th February 2003 - Turkey, at Ataturk Stadium, Antalya (drew 1-1 - Scott was in the initial squad but withdrew to play in a club game instead)
Tuesday, 21st October 2003 - Germany, at Pittodrie Stadium, Aberdeen (lost 0-1 - Scott was not in the squad, probably because Reading were playing the same night)
Wednesday, 10th December 2003 - Turkey, at Tannadice Park, Dundee (drew 1-1 - Scott played the whole game and received a yellow card)

Final table:

	P	W	D	L	F	A	GD	Pts
Turkey	4	1	3	0	4	3	+1	6
Germany	4	1	2	1	5	5	0	5
Scotland	4	0	3	1	5	6	-1	3

Joe Gamble (Republic of Ireland Under-21)

2004 European Under-21 Championship qualifying Group 10 (for players born on or after 1/1/1981):
Friday, 28th March 2003 - Georgia (away) (drew 1-1) - Joe unavailable due to injury
Friday, 1st April 2003 - Albania (away) (lost 0-1) - Joe unavailable due to injury
Friday, 6th June 2003 - Albania (home), Flancare Park, Longford (won 2-1 on the night but game later awarded 3-0 to Albania) - Joe unavailable due to injury
Tuesday, 10th June 2003 - Georgia (home), Buckley Park, Kilkenny (drew 1-1) - Joe unavailable due to injury
Friday, 5th September 2003 - Russia (home) (won 2-0) - Joe not in the squad
Friday, 10th October 2003 - Switzerland (away) (won 2-0) - Joe not in the squad

Final Group 10 table:

	P	W	D	L	F	A	GD	Pts
Switzerland	8	6	1	1	12	6	+6	19
Russia	8	5	0	3	14	8	+6	15
Albania	8	3	1	4	10	10	0	10
Republic of Ireland	8	2	2	4	8	11	-3	8
Georgia	8	1	2	5	7	16	-9	5

UEFA overturned the Republic of Ireland v Albania result because the home side had cheated by fielding a player who should have been suspended. The match is therefore recorded in the table as a 3-0 win to Albania.

Under-21 friendlies:
Tuesday, 26th March 2002 - Denmark, Turner's Cross, Curragh Road, Cork (won 3-2 - Joe was a substitute and scored the winning goal)
Tuesday, 16th April 2002 - Austria, Kindberg (drew 3-3 - Joe was an unused substitute)
Tuesday, 20th August 2002 (6.30pm local time) - Finland, Finnair Stadium, Helsinki (won 1-0 - Joe was in the 17-man squad)

30th Toulon International Tournament (Under-20):
Group B:
Tuesday, 7th May 2002 - Japan, Stade des Costieres, Rue de la Bouvine, Nimes (lost 0-2 - Joe played the last 6 minutes as a substitute)
Thursday, 9th May 2002 - Italy, Stade Mayol, Avenue de la République, Toulon (lost 0-2 - Joe played the whole game)
Monday, 13th May 2002 - South Africa, Stade Pourcin, Avenue du XVème Corps, Frejus (lost 1-2 - Joe played the first 63 minutes)
Wednesday, 15th May 2002 - Germany, Stade Scaglia, La Seyne-sur-Mer (drew 2-2 - Joe played the whole game)
Final Group B table:

	P	W	D	L	F	A	GD	Pts
Italy	4	3	0	1	9	2	+7	9
Japan	4	2	1	1	8	5	+3	7
Germany	4	1	3	0	8	7	+1	6
South Africa	4	1	1	2	3	9	-6	4
Republic of Ireland	4	0	1	3	3	8	-5	1

The group winners played in the final against the winners of group A whilst the two runners-up met in a third-place match, both games on Friday, 17th May at the Stade Mayol in Toulon.

Under-21 training camp:
On 16th January, 2002 Joe was included in a Republic of Ireland Under-21 squad for a training camp to take place between Sunday 27th and and Wednesday 30th January. The camp included a friendly game against an Aston Villa side at Bisham Abbey on the Wednesday, and Gamble scored the second goal in a 3-2 win.

Chris Davies (Wales Under-19)

For news about Chris's international career, go to an article in the features section of this website.

European Under-19 Championship qualifying:

Chris was not in the squad due to injury.

Group 11 (to be held in Northern Ireland):
Saturday, 16th November 2002 - Hungary (lost 0-5)
Monday, 18th November 2002 - Northern Ireland (lost 0-4)

Northern Ireland	3	2	0	1	9	2	+7	6
Wales	3	1	0	2	2	9	-7	3

2002 Milk Cup

Chris was in the Wales squad for the Elite Competition at the 2002 Milk Cup, which is for Under-19s. The matches were as follows:

Northern Ireland	2	0	1	1	2	5	-3	1

Thursday, 25th July - play-off game against Scotland at Rugby Avenue Stadium, Coleraine (lost 1-4) - Chris started this game

As far as I know, Chris made his first international appearance on 13/2/2002 (certainly his first at Under-17 level), although as he joined Reading at the start of the 2001/02 season I may have missed some.

Friendly (Chris came on as a substitute):
Wednesday, 13th February 2002 - Germany, Stebonheath Park, Llanelli (lost 0-1)

Ryan Crockford (Wales Under-17)

In 2002/03 Ryan was still young enough to play for an Under-16 side but instead was named for training squads and friendly games at Under-17 level.

Training camp:
12th-15th January, 2003 in South Wales - Ryan is in the squad for this camp and it was his first international call-up.

Friendlies (Ryan was moved from stand-by into the squad):
Monday, 10th February, 2003 - Scotland, Belle Vue, Rhyl (lost 0-1 - Ryan was an unused substitute)
Wednesday, 12th February, 2003 - Scotland, Meurig Park, Bethesda (won 4-0 - Ryan came on as a substitute in place of Russell Lucas to play the last 15 minutes)
Ryan received his Wales Under-17 cap before Reading's home game with Grimsby Town on 26/4/2003.

Darren Campbell (Scotland Under-17, Scotland Under-19 (?) squad)

For information about Darren's previous international call-ups, go to an article in the features section of this website.

Having played for both England and Scotland teams in friendly games or tournaments, Darren has decided to commit himself to Scotland. By playing in the UEFA Under-17 European Championship, he can now only play for Scotland in the future.

Azerbaijan	3	1	1	1	4	4	0	4
Turkey	3	1	1	1	5	4	+1	4

Under-17 friendlies:
Monday, 13th January 2003 - Malta (won 5-0) - Darren played the first 51 minutes and scored the fourth goal

The group winners, England, progress to the final tournament in Portugal in May 2003.

Mini-tournament - Darren is in the squad for this tournament in Portugal
9th April - Portugal
10th April - Turkey
12th April - Belgium

Under-19 (?) friendlies:
Reading reported on 16/4/2003 that Darren had received a call-up to the Under-19 squad but I can't find any planned fixtures. However, the Under-18 side play against Iceland on 22/4/2003 and 24/4/2003 so it may be that he is in the squad for those games.

Ryan has played for Northern Ireland at Under-16 level before joining Reading. He is currently in their Under-17 squad.

Ryan Maxwell (Northern Ireland Under-17)

Ryan left Reading in the summer of 2002. He was in the Northern Ireland squad for the Elite Competition of the 2002 Milk Cup.

I believe that Ryan did not make any international appearances whilst at Reading, but he was called into the Northern Ireland Under-17 training squad during the 2000/01 season.
