When, in 2020, Danny Ings came on as a substitute v Iceland and then scored against Wales, he became the 38^th player to play for England while on Saints books and the 9^th to score for his country. Sincen then he has been joined by two more scorers (Ward-Prowse and the 39th player to play for England while a Saint, Harwood-Bellis).

Goalkeeper, Jack Robinson had been the first Saint to win an England cap in 1899, while Bert Lee became the first player to win his debut cap while on Saints books, five years later. More than half a century later, Terry Paine became the first Saint to score for England (v Rest of the World in 1963) and remains the only one to score an international hat-trick (v N. Ireland also in 1963).

Alan Shearer, Rickie Lambert, Danny Wallace and Taylor Harwood-Bellis are the four to score on their debuts (v France 1992, v Scotland 201, Egypt 1986 and R of Ireland 2024) meanwhile Peter Shilton has won the most caps while a Southampton player (49 caps) and Mick Channon has scored the most goals (21).
