hot wheels legends tour france

Le Hot Wheels Legends Tour arrive en France !

Très grosse annonce de la part de Mattel ce jeudi avec le géant américain qui va lancer cette année l’édition française du Hot Wheels Legends Tour ! Après six ans d’existence, l’event va donc faire un tour par chez nous et dès ce mois-ci, un jury français va commencer à chercher quelle création française serait digne de remporter l’étape pour ensuite tenter de rempoter la grande finale américaine. On vous rappelle que la voiture sélectionnée sera immortalisée en Hot Wheels dans la série Mainline de l’année suivante. Donc si vous vous sentez de taille, sachez que votre véhicule devra être homologué en France et bien évidement modifié un minimum. Aucune restriction au niveau de la marque ou du modèle se sera faite. Tous les détails pour participer vous attendent sur le site officiel de l’event français.

On vous rappelle qu’en 2021, c’est le britannique Lee Johnstone qui a remporté l’édition avec son incroyable Volvo P1800 gasser “Ain’t No Saint” De 1969. Donc pourquoi pas une création française en Hot Wheels en 2024 ?! En tout cas, la finale française se déroulera à l’occasion des 24 heures du Mans, la course automobile la plus connue au monde qui va célébrer cette année son centenaire.

Le Hot Wheels Legends Tour propose depuis 2018 aux passionnés d'automobiles et de modifications de présenter leur création la plus folle à l'échelle 1/1. Ce concours propose de voir leur voiture reproduite en miniature au 1/64 en milliers d'exemplaires dans la Mainline, la série principale de véhicules Hot Wheels.

Cette tournée, qui existe depuis déjà six années aux Etats-Unis arrive pour la première fois en France en 2023 ! Mattel ne fait pas les choses à moitié puisque la finale Française du concours a lieu sur le prestigieux circuit 24h du Mans, à l'occasion du centenaire de la course entre le 5 et 11 juin 2023.

C'est au niveau la zone concert du village des 24h du Mans, qu'il est possible de découvrir les trois véhicules finalistes de cette première édition Française. Le camion du Hot Wheels Legends Tour France propose également des activités autour des sets Hot Wheels ainsi que des jeux concours. On regrettera l'absence de boutique néanmoins, même si un modèle Ford GT est à retrouver dans les boutiques officielles du circuit.

Mathieu Planquette

Volkswagen - 1972.

L’HISTORIQUE VOLKSWAGEN COCCINELLE 1972

Passionné de voitures, Mathieu Planquette a racheté il y a quatre ans une Coccinelle modifiée appartenant à un ami de longue date. Initialement, il envisageait de simplement repeindre la voiture, mais a finalement entrepris des transformations radicales : couper le toit, rétrécir la voiture de 13 cm et remonter le châssis de 13 cm. Entièrement repeinte à la main, la Coccinelle rend hommage à la première Beetle qui a franchi les 400 mètres en moins de 10 secondes dans les années 70. Mathieu Planquette a même réussi à contacter le fils du pilote de l'époque, obtenant ainsi le soutien et l'approbation du conducteur original. Grand amateur de modèles réduits, Mathieu Planquette a une affection particulière pour les Volkswagen de Hot Wheels. Sa passion pour ces voitures l'a poussé à faire de sa Coccinelle modifiée l'une des finalistes du "Hot Wheels Legends Tour". Sa détermination et son respect pour l'histoire automobile se reflètent dans chaque détail de sa voiture, faisant de lui un candidat idéal pour cette compétition prestigieuse. « Toute l'essence de ce projet et de cette voiture est de pouvoir faire rouler un jouet échelle 1 » déclare Mathieu Planquette, candidat finaliste Trézilidéen (Bretagne) du Hot Wheels Legends Tour France.

Jérémy et Kévin Lashermes

Traction v12 - 2022.

L’EXCEPTIONNELLE CITROËN TRACTION V12

Deux frères, Kévin et Jérémy, ont créé un prototype unique, fruit de leur passion commune pour la mécanique, la création métallique et la sculpture. Ce projet ambitieux, débuté en 2021 et achevé en 2022, est une véritable fusion de leurs talents respectifs : Kévin, avec sa vision pour le détail et le design, et Jérémy, avec ses compétences techniques. Ensemble, ils ont documenté leur aventure sur leur chaîne YouTube, dédiée aux voitures et à la création de sculptures à partir de pièces mécaniques d'anciennes voitures. Leur prototype a évolué sans plan précis, chaque étape du projet se construisant au fur et à mesure. Ils ont récupéré une coque de Traction dans un champ et l'ont assemblée avec un moteur V12, faisant preuve d'une grande créativité et d'adaptabilité. Passionnés de miniatures depuis l'enfance, notamment des Hot Wheels, les deux frères sont des collectionneurs dévoués. Leur amour pour ces petites voitures a naturellement conduit leur création unique à devenir finaliste du Hot Wheels Legends Tour France. « Depuis tout petit, nous collectionnons des Hot Wheels, participer au Hot Wheels Legends Tour est une véritable consécration pour nous » déclarent Jérémy et Kévin Lashermes, candidats finalistes Ambertois (Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes) du Hot Wheels Legends Tour France.

Alexandre Claudin

Delorean - 1981.

L’ICONIQUE DELOREAN 1981

Alexandre Claudin a toujours rêvé de posséder une Delorean, l'emblématique voiture de "Retour vers le Futur". En 2018, il réalise son rêve en achetant deux Delorean en Pennsylvanie, aux USA, et les importe en France. Il vend l'une des deux pour financer son projet de modification complète de la seconde. Après l'avoir conduite sans modification pendant un certain temps, il passe trois ans à transformer la voiture, remplaçant toutes les pièces sauf la carrosserie et l’habillage. Aujourd'hui, cette Delorean est une voiture de course avec un moteur de Corvette de plus de 500 chevaux, conforme aux normes des courses et presque prête pour la course des 24 Heures du Mans. Alexandre Claudin a personnalisé chaque détail de sa Delorean pour en faire une voiture de course unique. Passionné de Hot Wheels depuis toujours, il possède des centaines de modèles, des plus basiques aux plus rares, et en reçoit environ une par semaine. Il partage cette passion avec son fils. Alexandre suivait le Hot Wheels Legends Tour aux USA et était prêt à y envoyer sa Delorean avant que le concours ne soit lancé en France. En tant que pilote de drift et pilote officiel Monster Energy, il s'inspire des légendaires 24 Heures du Mans. « Je voulais la voiture dont tout le monde parlait, mais que personne n’avait jamais vue. C’est la seule Delorean au monde qui a subi une si grosse transformation, c'est une voiture unique. Les gens se donnent même l’interdit de la toucher tellement elle est iconique » déclare Alexandre Claudin, candidat finaliste Neuvillois (Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes) du Hot Wheels Legends Tour France.

2023 Hot Wheels Legends Tour will visit 17 countries in search of custom cars

Its first u.s. stop is in miami on may 13.

Hot Wheels has announced preliminary details about the 2023 Legends Tour, a worldwide quest to find some of the coolest custom cars and pick one to turn into a 1/64-scale model. This year's edition of the annual event will start in May and travel across 17 countries.

America is one of the bastions of custom-car culture, so it's not surprising to see nine events taking place in the United States on the 2023 calendar. The first is scheduled to take place on May 13 in Miami, Florida. It will be hosted in a Walmart parking lot, which is where previous in-person events have been held, and it's not just a competition; it's also a massive car show . The full American calendar is as follows:

May 13 : Miami, Florida
May 20 : Charlotte, North Carolina
May 27 : Atlanta, Georgia
June 10 : Detroit, Michigan
June 24 : Chicago, Illinois
September 9 : Dallas, Texas
September 23 : Phoenix, Arizona
October 7 : El Segundo, California

The other Legends Tour stops are overseas. There's notably a stop in France, which is an odd choice as even basic engine swaps are illegal there, and another in neighboring Italy . The global calendar hasn't been released yet, but last year's edition included entrants from as far as New Zealand. The winner, a 1992 Autozam Scrum turned into a monster truck (pictured), was built by Craig Meaux in Beaumont, Texas. In 2021, the judges selected a Chevrolet V8-powered 1969 Volvo P1800 gasser owned by England-based Lee Johnstone as the winner .

"More than 10,000 incredible cars were entered in last year's Hot Wheels Legends Tour, and this year we're expecting even more as the Tour continues to grow. Not only are there more countries participating, but we expect each city to bring even more custom builds this year, making 2023 the most competitive Legends Tour yet," said Ted Wu, the vice president and global head of design for Mattel.

If you think your one-of-a-kind hot rod should join the Hot Wheels catalog, it's not too late to register. Enthusiasts can submit their car by visiting the Legends Tour website . Judges from all over the automotive and entertainment spectrum will pick a global winner in November.

The three Hot Wheels™ Legends Tour France finalists revealed

24h Le Mans

The three Hot Wheels™ Legends Tour France finalists revealed

Who will come out on top in the French version of the Hot Wheels™ Legends Tour contest? The final will be held during the 24 Hours of Le Mans (12–16 June 2024).

A superb final at the 2024 24 Hours of Le Mans

Last February, Hot Wheels™ announced the launch of the second French edition of the international Hot Wheels™ Legends Tour competition. Hot Wheels™ invites car enthusiasts, vehicle transformation geeks and fans of the iconic brand to take part in this unique contest. Candidates are asked to submit a creative, authentic custom build that harnesses the Hot Wheels™ spirit – one that is worthy of being immortalised as a die-cast model.

After receiving a sackload of outstanding applications, the French panel made up of members of the Automobile Club de l’Ouest (ACO), Etienne Moustache – content creator and competition ambassador – and teams from Mattel got together to judge the entries. The public was also invited to vote this year. Visitors to the world-famous 24 Hours of Le Mans will have the chance to see the three outstanding finalists during race week.

So who are the three finalists?

The entries were judged on strict criteria covering authenticity, creativity and degree of customisation and, as a result, three extraordinary builds that best capture the Hot Wheels™ spirit were selected.

The winner of France’s second edition will qualify for the international grand finale that will wrap up the 2024 Hot Wheels Legends Tour. The participating countries’ finalists will then face off to win the ultimate prize: seeing the build produced as a genuine Hot Wheels™ 1:64 scale model and join the famous Garage of Legends collection.

The French judging panel will gather again for the national final on Saturday 15 June during the 24 Hours of Le Mans! On this occasion, Hot Wheels designer Craig Calum will provide input to help select the French representative. This year, racegoers will also be invited to vote for their favourite vehicle !

The Hot Wheels™ Legends Tour France winner will be revealed at 18:00 on Saturday 15 June in the presence of the judges and their ambassador Étienne Moustache!

The historic 1972 Volkswagen Beetle

Petrolhead Mathieu Planquette bought a modified Beetle from a long-standing friend four years ago. His plans to simply repaint the car soon turned into a radical transformation including cutting off the roof, shrinking the car by 13 cm and raising the chassis by 13 cm. Entirely repainted by hand, the car is a tribute to the first Beetle to cover 400 metres in less than 10 seconds in the 1970s. Mathieu even managed to contact the son of the original driver who has since given the project his seal of approval.

The builder is a great fan of scale models with a particular soft spot for Hot Wheels™ Volkswagens. So much so that his modified Beetle has qualified for the final of the Hot Wheels™ Legends Tour France. His determination and respect for automotive history are reflected in every detail of the car, making him an ideal candidate for this prestigious competition.

The amazing Citroën Traction V12

Two brothers, Kevin and Jérémy, share a passion for mechanical engineering, metal artwork and sculpture. The ambitious project which began in 2021, ending a year later, is a true fusion of their respective talents combining Kevin’s eye for detail and design and Jérémy’s technical prowess. They documented their adventure on their YouTube channel devoted to cars and to sculptures created from old car parts.

Their unique prototype was put together without any precise plans, with each stage of the project evolving as it was built. They retrieved the shell of a Traction from a field and, demonstrating tremendous creativity and adaptability, fitted it with a V12 engine. The brothers have been avid collectors of model vehicles – and particularly fans of Hot Wheels™ – since they were young boys. Their love of these small cars has naturally driven their unique creation to the Hot Wheels™ Legends Tour France final.

The iconic 1981 Delorean

Alexandre Claudin has always dreamed of owning a DeLorean, Michael J. Fox’s emblematic co-star in Back to the Future . In 2018, that dream came true when he purchased two of them in Pennsylvania and brought them back to France. He sold one of them to fund his plan to completely modify the other. After driving it for a while without any alterations, he spent three years transforming the car, replacing all the parts except the coachwork and upholstery. Today, this DeLorean has a Corvette engine topping 500 horsepower, built to racing standard – it could almost compete in the 24 Hours of Le Mans!

As a lifelong Hot Wheels™ fan, Alexandre has hundreds of models – from the most basic to the rarest examples – and gets his hands on a new one most weeks. He shares his passion with his son. Alexandre followed the Hot Wheels™ Legends Tour in the USA and contemplated sending over his DeLorean before the contest came to France. He is also a drift specialist and official Monster Energy driver and, of course, draws his inspiration from the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Hot Wheels™ in the Fan Zone at the 24 Hours of Le Mans

From 11–16 June, 24 Hours of Le Mans racegoers can admire the three finalists of the 2024 Hot Wheels™ Legends Tour and enjoy stacks of other exciting events in the Family Fan Zone . Fans of all ages can visit the Hot Wheels™ pop-up store throughout race week and vote for their favourite build. An autograph session at 11:00 on Saturday 15 June will give them an opportunity to meet Etienne Moustache – ambassador of the French edition.

The winner of the second Hot Wheels™ Legends Tour France will be revealed at 18:00 that day in the presence of the French judging panel and their ambassador.

Check out the 10 finalists for this year’s Hot Wheels Legends Tour

From a Jag-powered MGB GT to a pair of unsettling BMW bubble cars, the event plays host to some stellar competition

Hot Wheels has announced the finalists for this year’s annual Legends Tour ahead of the event’s conclusion on Saturday 11 November. Known for being one of the world’s largest travelling car shows and attracting competition from all over the globe, the idea behind the Legends Tour is to provide custom car creators with a chance to showcase their builds.

The winning car is then immortalised as a 1:64-scale model, though this is no easy feat given they’ll be judged by a panel of car enthusiasts led by none other than Jay Leno. Let’s have a look at 2023’s finalists and which areas they represent, having won their respective national qualifiers.

England: Michael Wallhead and the MG ‘B-EAST’

Built over an eight-year period and placing huge importance on sustainability, Michael’s MGB GT has adopted a number of parts from seemingly unsuitable patrons including the 3.0-liter AJV6 engine from a Jaguar, the prop shaft from an old Range Rover, the axle from a Reliant Scimitar and even the brakes from a Nissan Silvia S14. The throttle bodies have been drafted from a Triumph motorcycle, while the seat upholstery has been made from used jeans. Can Bicester’s pint-sized pretender charm its way to victory?

France: thibault lagardere and the ‘golgoth i’.

In some ways, it’s quite poetic that this fabulous-looking machine has been built in Le Mans, France. Named the ‘Golgoth I’ and inspired by the post-war machines that were used predominantly for beach racing, Thibaut’s creation was put together using an aircraft tank before being fitted with a V8 flathead engine and free-flowing exhaust. Proper poster book stuff.

Germany: Philip Jager and the BMW 2002

What do you get when you find a tired, abandoned BMW 2002 Tii Touring and transplant a BMW M5 bi-turbo V8 into it? High blood pressure, probably, but mostly a serious contender for the Legends Tour throne. Having spent the last few years converting this nearly 50-year-old car into a drift machine, Philip’s 2002 then won this year’s German leg of the qualifiers.

Indonesia: David Sebastian and the Nissan Juke

Built to replicate the Juke racing cars that competed in the Japan Grand Touring Championship and DTM series (yes, that really was a thing), David has race-prepped his car with a 450bhp engine and a custom manual gearbox. He must be seen as some sort of Herculean figure in the Juke world.

New Zealand: Chris Watson and ‘The Cyberpunk’

Presumably taking inspiration from the futuristic video game of the same name, Chris Watson’s ‘Cyberpunk’ is a 1990 Mazda MX-5 with what you'd diplomatically call "a light refresh". Changes include a new rear light bar, shark fin spoiler, 15-inch turbofan wheels and an airbrushed finish to turn this Japanese icon into something we’ll likely see in a Back to the Future reboot.

Poland: Samuel Lechowicz and the Daihatsu Hijet

Welcome to precisely the kind of 'car' the Legends Tour is built upon. What you’re looking at is a 1985 Daihatsu Hijet that’s been stripped of its original engine and had a motorcycle placed into the back of it, offering a creative new way to terrify yourself. What with Daihatsu Hijets not normally being offered with a motorbike option, Samuel had to unsurprisingly modify almost every element, ranging from a new custom floor to a completely revamped suspension set-up.

Mexico: Juan Carlos and the 928 pickup

Mexico’s representative, Juan Carlos, has ripped up the blueprint for his 1980 Porsche 928S and started from scratch with one goal in mind: to turn it into a pickup. Thanks to the conversion, Juan can now carry two bikes, two surfboards, a foilboard and a slalom ski atop the 928. A full-length skid plate, specially-designed roll cage and new off-road tyres combine to give it an edge when the going gets tough. We’d love to see it tackle an expedition to the North Pole...

USA (Georgia): Michael Scire and the Chevrolet Camaro

In what is one of the more heartfelt stories among this year’s finalists, Michael Scire acquired this 1981 Chevrolet Camaro when he was just 15 years old. In the 18 years since, he’s spent countless hours fettling it and this year decided to enter the Legends Tour. Featuring a custom body that was shortened by 18 inches in total, the second generation model even has a hand-built 350 cubic-inch LT engine and custom exhaust pairing. As you can imagine, it's loud.

USA (Texas): David Almanzan and the Mercedes-Benz 300D

David is an automotive technology programme instructor, and using the Merc 300D as the centre of a number of classes, he's had over 260 students’ input shaping the car over the last few years. Notable changes include wider wheel arches to cocoon the all-terrain tyres and suspension lift kit, nodding to the car’s strong rallying influence. Should be OK with the odd pothole, one suspects.

USA (Arizona): Michael Brown and the BMW Isetta twins

Bringing the list to a close is this pair of BMW bubble cars that have now carved out two very different paths for themselves. The first is ‘Big Dill’ - a 1957 BMW Isetta dragster that houses a 1,200cc Harley-Davidson Shovelhead motor. Then, located further back in the image is ‘Pickle Jar’ - a 230 Chevrolet straight-six-powered Isetta whose primary purpose is to transport Big Dill. If ever there was an automotive equivalent to the crazed rag dolls Chucky and Tiffany, these two have surely got to be it.

This is the one that gets distributed at the Legends Tour Event. Keep an eye out for Tour dates for one near you.

Okay thanks

So where do we have to buy cars so that we can redeem the car at the event? And do we have to print a receipt if we just purchase the stuff online?

Also when will tour locations be announced?

Did'nt see a start and ending date!

Give us a date 😂

Never one near me

What is the dates for this or where can a person find that info?

EAGLEUPNORTH1 9

What are the locations and event days. And why is it limited to only the Legends locations. There are a lot of us who will live hours away from a location. This is what I call selective selling and location targeting. Unfair.

Never near me either, but historically available as part of a bundle that’s available online during the event.

MARK.VEHECGMAIL.COM 2

Nothing near me from the 2022 list I saw. There almost are more virtual events than in-person events. I imagine there is no plan to fold something into attending that and making some purchases during the event to qualify.

Hotwheelfeel 1

Don’t understand why they can’t tell you where the locations are!!

Is there a Legends Walmart near Altoona Pa? What are the dates?

Ryan Jason 50

Hot Wheels / Mattel, kindly hook us up w/the stop locations and the dates so we know.

It doesn't appear to be listed anywhere.

I don't get it? So is the car only available at the legend tour events or can you order one online during the event? The receipt part is what im confused about.

When and what walmart will have these in stock?

England’s no-cap wonders: ‘It’s a kick in the b*llocks, to be honest’

England's Jimmy Bullard (left) and manager fabio Capello during the training session at the Olympic Stadium, Barcelona. (Photo by Owen Humphreys - PA Images/PA Images via Getty Images)

This article has been updated as part of The Athletic ’s coverage of Euro 2024 and the Copa America , having originally been published in 2019.

Jimmy Bullard was starting to feel desperate. He looked down the line of England substitutes and wondered if they were feeling the same. Then he started going through a series of elaborate stretches in the hope it would get him noticed. He pulled on his shinpads to make the point he was ready to go on. He swung his arms above his head and, as the clock ticked down, he leant over for the umpteenth time in an attempt to catch the manager’s eye. Fabio Capello continued to look straight forward.

The date was November 19, 2008. Germany vs England, in the Olympiastadion, Berlin. The score was 2-1 to England and Bullard was feeling twitchy. His family were watching back home on television. At the One Bell in Crayford near Dartford, where they had a party when Bullard was called up, his friends had packed into the bar, all hoping to see him win his first international cap.

It was a friendly, meaning England were allowed to use 11 substitutes, but Capello had decided against wholesale changes. Two substitutions were made at half-time: Scott Carson and Darren Bent replacing David James and Jermain Defoe. In the 77th minute, Ashley Young came on for Gabriel Agbonlahor and, soon afterwards, Bullard started thinking about seriously asking Capello if it was his turn next.

He decided against it and, with the game ticking into stoppage time, Capello turned to the bench again. England’s fourth substitute of the night: Peter Crouch for Shaun Wright-Phillips. And Bullard, wearing a pristine No 18 shirt, sank back into his seat. Crouch was on the pitch for no more than a minute. As Bullard put it: “Another bloody cap for him, then.”

And that was the end of what passed as Bullard’s England career, never to be called up again. Capello did at least apologise. Then Bullard was consigned to the band of players who know what it is like to report for England duty, to pull on the shirt and stand for the national anthem without ever qualifying for one of those tasselled caps.

The players who fell short of being one-cap wonders.

“The unlucky ones,” Tony Coton, whose own exclusion reeked of Football Association scandal (more of that later). “Or maybe, the not-quite-good-enough ones.”

Or, in the case of Micky Hazard, the forgotten man… literally.

In May 1984, Hazard was earning high praise for his stylish performances in Tottenham Hotspur ’s midfield when he was called up for the Home Championship game against Scotland at Hampden Park that saw a young Gary Lineker make his England debut.

Between them, Hazard and Lineker would go on to accumulate a combined 80 caps. Unfortunately for Hazard, 80 of those belonged to Lineker.

My game in my words. By Gary Lineker

“I was one of the subs at Hampden Park and at half-time, Bobby Robson told me to start warming up,” Hazard says. “I still remember his instructions: ‘I want you to run the game for England the way you ran the UEFA Cup final for Spurs’. I was buzzing. It was exactly what I wanted to hear.

“Everyone was there. My dad watched me everywhere but, for that Scotland game, I’d got as many tickets as I could for family and friends. My mindset was: ‘Get me on, just give me the opportunity, let me show what I can do’.

“I knew I’d be fresh and there would be space for me to create something. If I could get on the ball I could make things happen. And, while I was warming up, I was also thinking that if I did take my chance, if I could create a goal or, even better, score one, I might end up getting 50, 60, 70 caps.

“I’d been playing in a UEFA Cup final three days earlier and the sweat was pouring off me. It was a scorching hot day. The Scottish fans were giving me all sorts of grief. I ran up and down that touchline, up and down, up and down… I warmed up for the full 45 minutes. But the call never came. I went into the dressing room afterwards and Bobby apologised. ’Oh sorry, Micky’, he said. ‘I forgot about you’.”

Hazard can laugh about it now, but it wasn’t quite so easy to see the funny side.

He was 24, with an eye for a pass, a classy first touch and the kind of vision that made him a natural fit for Spurs in the era of Glenn Hoddle, Ossie Ardiles, Chas and Dave and some of the more thrilling cup nights ever seen at the old White Hart Lane. “I look back at my first full season (1981-82). We won the FA Cup , reached the League Cup final and semi-final of the European Cup Winners’ Cup. We finished fourth in the league. I scored 11 goals and I was up for Young Player of the Year and all I got picked for was the England Under-21s. It’s a lot different to what we have nowadays when an 18-year-old can have three decent Premier League games and get called up.”

In 1984, though, Hazard still envisaged a long international career. He had played a key role in both legs of the UEFA Cup final against Anderlecht and, though Robson might have had a lapse of memory during the Scotland game, England also had a match against Russia at Wembley the following weekend.

“The problem was Spurs were going on tour to Swaziland (to play Liverpool in two friendlies) and had a lot of injuries,” Hazard says. “So the manager, Keith Burkinshaw, rang Bobby Robson. ‘Bobby, are you going to be starting Micky on Wednesday? Because if not, we need him in Swaziland, we’re getting paid a lot of money and we need some names with us’. Bobby said he wasn’t going to start me, so I was withdrawn from the squad. And that really was that for me and England. I never got another chance and I don’t know why because, in that era, I was one of the more creative footballers in the country.”

Did he ever think about approaching Robson on the touchline at Hampden Park? “I was a newcomer. I knew my place. I didn’t want to be disrespectful towards the manager or disrespectful towards the players who came on instead of me,” he says. “I never thought I had a right to play. But yes, I wish I had got on. I wish I could have created, or scored, a goal. I do wish Bobby hadn’t forgotten about me.”

According to the archives of England Football Online, more than 100 footballers have been in a similar position since the national team played their first international in 1872.

That number features Matt Jansen, David Stockdale, David Wheater, Aaron Wan-Bissaka , Jack Colback , Charlie Austin and Michail Antonio from the past 25 years.

Explained: Why West Ham's Michail Antonio switched England for Jamaica

For most cases, however, it goes back to the the 1950s, or earlier, when the substitution rules were different and long before there was such a thing as squad rotation (or resting players in case their club managers threw a wobbly).

Spare a thought, in particular, for Joe Kennedy of West Bromwich Albion , bearing in mind his involvement spanned 1952 to 1955 without ever making it onto the pitch. Or how about William Page of Charterhouse School, whose first call-up arrived in 1877 and who was still classified as a “reserve” (twice) five years later?

For Jansen, the story goes back to 2002, just a couple of weeks before Sven-Goran Eriksson was due to name his World Cup squad, when the Blackburn Rovers striker was called up to play in England’s final warm-up match: Paraguay at Anfield.

“My dad said that would be the only time I would ever see him cry,” Jansen tells The Athletic . “And not that I’m sadistic or anything, but I would have loved to have made him cry.

“England was everything. And it was happening. I had made it to the England squad. I was going to play. I was playing up front with Michael Owen in training. I would have made my debut. I had trained really well, scored a few goals. And then that night, I was out of it. Sick, shivering, shaking. It was like being hit by a sledgehammer.”

The diagnosis was a severe bout of gastroenteritis and when Owen woke the next day his wannabe strike partner had been taken home. “Sven was brilliant with me,” Jansen says. “The doctor came to my hotel room and said they had to get me away because I was going to infect the rest of the squad.

“The newspapers were saying I shouldn’t have pulled out and that I should have played anyway. But it was ridiculous. I couldn’t even stand up. So what did they want me to do? Refuse to go home? Infect the rest of the squad and play terribly?”

Jansen was one of the hottest properties in English football, coveted by Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United and regarded as a dead-cert to play for England.

On the day before Eriksson announced his World Cup squad, the Swede had told Graeme Souness, then the Blackburn manager, that Jansen was in. The player’s partner, Lucy, was making arrangements to delay her university exams so she could go to Japan and South Korea to cheer him on. “I had already had my World Cup suit measured, which I’ve still got somewhere,” Jansen says. “I had my invite to David Beckham’s party. I was going.”

Instead, Tord Grip, England’s assistant manager, persuaded Eriksson at the last minute to select another defender. Martin Keown was called up and Jansen was the one to drop out.

“Even then, I tried to stay positive,” Jansen says. “I was 24. It wasn’t the end of the world. I was certainly confused and deflated but I knew I was going to play for England. I got over the disappointment quickly because I was certain my chance would come. I knew, worst-case scenario, I would play two or three games. Or best-case scenario, that I would be a success and play loads of games, which is what I firmly believed would happen.”

The worst-case scenario, as it turned out, involved the moped accident on holiday with Lucy that threw him across the cobbles of a Rome street and into a coma.

Jansen visited the site of the crash with The Athletic ’s Oliver Kay and, plainly, an accident of that seriousness was always going to affect his priorities.

Matt Jansen returns for the first time to the scene of the moped accident that changed his life for ever

Yet there are still the old urges. He still remembers his father’s words about how he had never seen him cry, and how that would change on the day he played for England. He hasn’t forgotten what it was like to pull on the training kit: the navy shirt, the name of the sponsor, Nationwide, in white, the Umbro logo, the Three Lions. He will always wonder whether he and Owen would have hit it off as he imagined.

“I wouldn’t have wanted to play for England just once, I would have wanted 50 caps or more. But because of what happened to me, if I had just managed to play once, and never again, even that would have made such a difference.”

There will always be regrets. “The thing that frustrates me is that there are players who got a few caps and I feel like, without being big-headed, I was better than them. But I can’t prove that. They got their caps, fair play to them, and now they get invited to play in England Legends’ games and tournaments all around the world.

“They go to Dubai, to Spain, four or five trips a year — a few quid and a nice trip, a nice ego boost and being part of the camaraderie that you miss after you have stopped playing professionally.

“I got invited to play in one through Michael Gray (a former Blackburn team-mate) but because I had never actually won an England cap that felt more awkward than it should have done. You know how you get a line in front of your name? Michael gets ‘ Sunderland , Blackburn and England’. Mine is ‘ Crystal Palace , Blackburn and Bolton ’. I will never have ‘and England’.”

It has been 50 years since the Professional Footballers’ Association introduced its end-of-season awards and, in that time, 22 goalkeepers have been named in the top division’s team of the year.

It is quite some list if you consider the number of international caps they have amassed together.

Pat Jennings (119), Peter Shilton (125), Ray Clemence (61), Neville Southall (92), David Seaman (75), Peter Schmeichel (129), Tim Flowers (11), David James (53), Nigel Martyn (23), Fabien Barthez (87), Shay Given (134), Brad Friedel (82), Tim Howard (121), Petr Cech (124), Joe Hart (75), Edwin van der Sar (130), David de Gea (45), Ederson (25), Nick Pope (10), Alisson (63), Aaron Ramsdale (four).

And Tony Coton (zero).

It is no wonder Coton is often described as the best England goalkeeper never to win a cap.

When he won the PFA accolade in 1992 his peers included Schmeichel, Seaman, Southall, Flowers, Martyn, Chris Woods, Dave Beasant, Bruce Grobbelaar and Mark Bosnich. It was a golden era of goalkeeping in the English top flight. Coton was No 1 and for a long time he wondered whether it was held against him at FA headquarters that, as a young pro at Birmingham City, he had been in trouble with the police.

Coton was probably justified in feeling that way because Bobby Robson, writing his diary of the 1986 World Cup, had already explained why it was difficult to include him as one of Shilton’s understudies. “Since the Football Association chairman had laid down a strict code of conduct,” Robson wrote, “I could hardly select a young man with a suspended sentence hanging over his head.”

Yet that tells only part of the story and, of all the old pros nursing a grievance on England’s zero club, Coton is the only one who can justifiably call it a scandal, bearing in mind what he subsequently discovered about the true reasons the elusive England cap remained out of reach.

Coton might, after all, have considered that everything had turned in his favour when Graham Taylor took the job, Shilton wound down an international career spanning two decades and Peter Swales was chairman of the FA’s international committee. Taylor had previously been Coton’s manager at Watford and helped to spare him a possible prison sentence, on a charge of assault, with a personal reference from the witness box of Tamworth magistrates’ court. Swales, meanwhile, was the Manchester City chairman who had just sanctioned Coton’s £1million ($1.3m at today’s rates) transfer to Maine Road.

Coton was playing out of his skin, making a solid case to be regarded as the best in the country, and fiercely patriotic. He would have travelled to the ends of the earth for the chance to play for England and, in the summer of 1991, he did just that on a tour of Australia, New Zealand and Malaysia. Brian Deane, John Salako, Earl Barrett, Mark Walters, Gary Charles and David Hirst all came back as fully-fledged England internationals. For Coton, watching Woods play every minute of every game, the jet lag was not quite so worthwhile.

After remaining on the fringes for the next couple of years, Coton did tackle Taylor one day about why he kept leaving him out. The manager told him that it was still difficult, politically, because of Coton’s criminal record and the reaction of the FA bigwigs. Which left one obvious question: how could that be the case when Tony Adams, who had been to prison for drink-driving, was an established England international?

“At the time, I still thought I was in with a real chance,” Coton says. “For every game, I used to think, ‘Maybe it might be this trip, maybe this time’.

“Just getting the letter from the FA — ‘Congratulations, you’ve been selected for the forthcoming England matches’ — and seeing your name on the list, getting the instructions about where to report and what time to be there, was a real honour.

“But people don’t realise what it’s like to be travelling around the world and then be stuck in the stand. It’s great if you play. You come back on a high and you’re feeling great when it comes to playing on Saturday for your club. But when you’ve been travelling those kind of distances, not playing or not even being on the bench, it’s a kick in the b*llocks, to be honest.”

The truth finally emerged in October 2016 during a chance encounter at Aston Villa ’s training ground with Steve Harrison, formerly Taylor’s right-hand man.

Harrison was in the office of the technical director, Steve Round, having a coffee with some of the staff when Tommy Mooney spotted Coton from the doorway. “Hey, TC, your ears must be burning because we’ve just been talking about you,” he said. “Steve, tell TC what you’ve just told us.”

Harrison then proceeded to explain the real reasons Coton never played a single minute for England.

“Graham wanted to give you a cap. He knew you deserved to play for England and he planned to give you a game in Malaysia — but he was asked not to by Peter Swales. The problem was, Man City would have to pay Watford a £350,000 bonus if you ever played for England and Swales didn’t want that to happen. So he put the squeeze on Graham. It was agreed that you’d get a game at a later date, but the opportunity never materialised. I know Graham has regretted it ever since.”

A carve-up, in other words.

“I was stunned,” Coton says. “At least it vindicated my belief that I was good enough to play for England. But I didn’t know any of this at the time. I had always thought I was being left out because I had a bit of a mischievous past. Instead, it was all because Peter Swales was high up at the FA and tight with his money.

“In hindsight, I might have preferred it to have been about my past rather than the real reason. That Peter Swales didn’t want to owe Watford any more money. And that it was about money, not morals.”

All Coton has now when he reflects on his international career is a sense of injustice, an England B cap that he regards with little affection and, more than anything, a list of unanswered questions.

Why would Taylor, a man he held in the highest esteem, allow himself to be strong-armed that way by one of the FA’s suits? Why would Taylor cave in over the golden rule that a manager should always be entitled to pick the team he wants? Especially when it meant depriving his beloved Watford of a six-figure bonus?

Coton never saw his former manager again. Taylor passed away in January 2017. Swales had died in 1996 and, knowing what he does now, Coton looks back on his years with England as a waste of time.

“The final straw was when I got back from a trip to Russia and my car had been stolen from my drive,” he says. “Manchester City were my bread and butter. I’d had enough of the endless disappointments with England and I just thought ‘How many more years do I want to be doing this?’.

“The police did at least find my car, even if it was resting on bricks. I had left the boot filled with tracksuits, T-shirts from sponsors, goalkeeping gloves and all sorts of other gear. There was a chequebook in the glove compartment.

“But they never took anything apart from the alloys and they left a note for me on the steering wheel. ‘Sorry, TC, we only wanted the wheels. Hope this hasn’t caused you too much trouble ‘cos we’re City fans, good luck, mate’. I had to laugh.”

Coton called time on his would-be England career after the game against San Marino in 1993 that also happened to be Taylor’s final match in charge. He now has a chapter called “Your Country Doesn’t Need You” in his autobiography, There To Be Shot At, and he tries not to let it fester too much.

“Sometimes I do tell a little white lie,” he says. “If anyone asks if I played for England I say, ‘Yeah’. I don’t tell them it was 45 minutes of an England B game. I am cheating. But I feel like I’m entitled to cheat when I have been all over the fucking world trying to get one of the proper ones.”

Jamie Vardy tells a story about his first England cap earning him £100,000 to go with the shirt, signed by all his new team-mates, he took away as a permanent souvenir.

Vardy had it written into his contract at Leicester City that he was entitled to the bonus if he started for his country or came on before the 75th minute.

The clock was on 74:03 when he ran onto the pitch during England’s goalless draw against the Republic of Ireland in 2015 and his agent had a photograph of that precise moment, taken from television, with the time showing in the top corner.

Yet there was an awkward period when Leicester, perhaps thinking his England career might never go past the one-game mark, would not accept the clause had been triggered, arguing that 74:03 was, strictly speaking, the 75th minute. The owners had to get involved, along with the director of football, Jon Rudkin, and eventually the dispute was settled in Vardy’s favour.

All of which is a reminder for England’s nearly men that there can be financial repercussions, too, for missing out.

Jansen, for instance, stood to get a £1million bonus from Adidas if he won an England cap.

“I’m certain that he would have played against Paraguay, whether from the start or during the game, to see if he would remain in our plans for the tournament,” Eriksson writes in Jansen’s 2019 autobiography, What Was, What Is and What Might Have Been. “It was a real pity that he got sick — a pity for everybody, and especially for Matt, that he did not have that great opportunity.”

As for Lee Clark, he also lost out on a considerable sum, despite his best efforts to cash in on the England experience.

Clark was tipped off about his call-up to Glenn Hoddle’s squad for the 1997 Tournoi de France on the day he was due to sign for Sunderland from Newcastle United .

The paperwork for the transfer was not fully completed and there were still a couple of days before the FA made the official squad announcement, so Clark saw his opportunity — his agent, Paul Stretford, went back to Sunderland to request a bonus clause for England appearances.

“There were a few verbals from Peter Reid,” Clark says, remembering the moment his new manager heard about the call-up. “We’d just finished the press conference. We went back to his office and the ticker bar was flashing on television … ‘Lee Clark named in the England squad’. Reidy’s face was a picture. He’d said to me he would get me in the England squad, but he didn’t think it was going to be that quick.”

Clark never got that bonus: he was an unused substitute for England’s three games against France , Italy and Brazil and never called up again. Though it is not the money that makes that the biggest disappointment of his career.

“I was successful at all my clubs. I played and captained every England team from under-15s to under-21s and then, to get called up to the senior squad but never get on the pitch, was the hardest thing to take,” he says.

“Even if I had got 30 seconds, it would still have been enough to get that elusive cap. But I wasn’t needed again. Paul Ince, David Batty, Paul Gascoigne were all on the scene, with Paul Scholes and the younger ones coming through, and I guess it counted against me that I had dropped down into the Championship.

“I was gutted, to be honest, especially when Sven-Goran Eriksson took over and started throwing caps around like confetti. I wish I had been knocking around during that era.”

As it was, Clark can remember going through the same kind of routine in France that Bullard repeated years later in Germany, watching from the substitutes’ bench while going through a series of over-elaborate stretches in the hope of catching the manager’s eye.

Bullard, meanwhile, tells a story about how that little scene stayed with him and one game in particular, as a player at Ipswich Town , when he was stuck on the bench in a pre-season fixture against Southend United.

With a quarter of an hour to go, Bullard’s patience was wearing thin and he went over to the assistant manager, Chris Hutchings, to ask who was in charge of substitutions. Hutchings pointed to where the manager, Paul Jewell, was sitting in the stands. “I need to go on,” Bullard announced.

It earned him a dressing-down from Jewell the next day but it seemed to do the trick and Bullard was brought on for the last 10 minutes. Plus it makes a great story now. “I may not have won an England cap but I played in that Southend friendly — nobody could ever take that away from me.”
