The Greatest One-Cap Wonders!

Wearing your country’s crest. Stepping onto the field for the pride of a nation. It’s every athlete’s dream - but for some, it only happens once.

In this episode of How It All Played Out, Mark Pougatch and Paul Hayward explore the stories of the sports stars who made a single international appearance. From legendary goalkeeper William 'Fatty' Foulkes to football’s Michael Ricketts, Arnie Sidebottom, and Welsh rugby’s David Bishop, these “one-cap wonders” may not have had lengthy international careers, but their moment on the big stage is unforgettable.

Tune in as we celebrate the passion, pride, and pressure of representing your country — even if just for one game.
