Could it have been Jack Howe?

he played till a good age and was on the rec every week in the seventies
could be your man
i remember playing against him and his team were all old men just loved the footy
they could keep the ball a bit and liked a odd kick at someone who tried to skim past them

Jack never played in the seventies, he was behind the bar in the RAFA Club
He would take great delight in showing you his boots, but he never put them on.

I can just picture you in a kaftan and velvet loons, smoking weed, smelling of patchouli oil and wearing an Afghan.

Surely there'll be photo's??

No idea who that would be. Here's a bit on Pools players with international caps:

It's incomplete and I'll update it later this week. For example, I only found out last Friday that John Coyne won eight caps for Australia. I'm sure others will be missing too, but it's a good start. Can't find anybody who meets your description though.

aye he did that

1979 - Peking, Shanghai, Tianjin, Taipei City Bank, Taiwan
1980 - Czechsolavakia, Czechoslavakia, Mexico

strange for a scouser -lot of heads moving over there then

loads of poolies played in oz between 75-85
