Where are England stars born?

The north of England has produced more than twice the number of England internationals as the south since their first official match in 1872.

Sky Sports looked at the birthplaces of all 1,214 players to have represented England and found 803 have been born in the northern regions, compared to 367 in the south.

Thirty-eight players were born outside England, while the origins of six others could not be verified.

England is traditionally split into nine regions and we divided them into five northern regions and four southern regions for the purposes of the study.

The data shows the North West has produced 275 England internationals, making it the most successful region.

The other northern regions are West Midlands (159), the North East (144), Yorkshire and the Humber (118) and East Midlands (107).

In the south, London has provided 189 internationals, followed by the South East (93), East of England (48) and the South West (37), which has produced one fewer England international than those born outside England
