This weekend, Jack Moylan could earn his first Ireland cap as his country takes on Grenada.

It is rare for a Lincoln City player to be called up by one of the Home Nations, and Moylan’s inclusion in the squad is a signal of how the club is growing. I recall a time when a call-up for St Kitts and Nevis was a huge deal, and here we are on the cusp of seeing one of our players appearing for a country that was on the cusp of the World Cup.

Sadly, we don’t have a World Cup inclusion. If we did, the minimum payout is reported to be $250,000, with FIFA coughing up $11,000 per day for players to be included. That’s going to be huge for Port Vale, who could have Ben Waine at the tournament.

Still, we won’t be bothered too much by the World Cup, but we will be watching closely to see if Jack Moylan adds another zero to his value this summer. Watching an Imp, not a loan player but one of our own, in action for his international side is going to be huge, but is his call-up the ‘best’ of all Lincoln City’s international shouts?

Here are the top five international call-ups for Lincoln City players, in my chosen order.

Special Mentions

Firstly, a special mention to two players called up by Ireland that I have left out of the top five: Con Mouslon and Arthur Fitzsimmons.

Con Moulson earned five caps for Ireland in total and spent two spells with the Imps, either side of a move to Notts County, becoming a familiar figure at Sincil Bank during the 1930s and wartime years. He appeared for Ireland in May 1936 against Luxembourg and Hungary, as well as playing a non-international for Ireland against a Germany/Austria representative side. After hanging up his boots in 1943, he stayed in Lincoln, working in a factory while also serving as the club’s kit man.

Moulson was named manager in 1965 following the retirement of Bill Anderson, despite having spent almost 30 years away from frontline football. His reign lasted just eight matches, all of which ended in defeat, with City conceding 21 goals as he attempted to deploy an unconventional 3-3-4 system.

Arthur Fitzsimmons also appeared for Lincoln and Ireland. He was a City player in 1959, at the tail end of his career, and had already played 25 times for his country. His call-up wasn’t entirely unexpected, and he only played a handful of times for City. I’d have put this call up sixth.

I should mention our most-capped player here. Delroy Facey appeared eight times for Grenada in 2010, all caps coming in the autumn of that season. He missed three matches, Shrewsbury, Stockport and Wycombe, games we picked up a single point in. He didn’t miss any over November and December due to bad weather in England. I hear it was nice in Grenada.
