Who are the only two players to get their England debut at a World Cup finals tournament ?

Clue - both played for Leeds during their careers (one at the time of his England debut and one after his debut)

Was one of them Johnathan Woodgate?

Allan Clarke is one. Not sure of the other.

those players probably way before my time. this euro was the first time i got to see england in a final.
last time england was in the world cup final you won it if im not wrong.

Well done Westminster, Allan Clarke made his England debut in the 1970 world cup actually scoring on his debut from the penalty spot to give the 3 lions a 1-0 victory against the Czechs. Bet not many have taken a penalty on their debut.

You'll all need to be older to get the 2nd one, was 1962 in Chile when Alan Peacock made his debut in a victory over Argentina. He was a Middlesboro player at the time but Don signed him in 64 to fire us out of the 2nd division.
Averaged a goal every other game while at Leeds.

WOW

Didn't see any other replies, I'll take a stab at this.
Aaron Lennon, South Africa 2010. Terry Cooper, Mexico 1970.

Just read the other replies, nearly went for Clarke instead of Cooper.
I remember the penalty he took, cool as a cucumber.
Alan Peacock was a tough one. I watched first day of pre season training on Fullerton Park, season summer after we got promotion in 1964, first day training was a cricket match between the players.
Peacock was head and shoulders above everybody else, knocking the ball into the car park and out back into property of an haulage company who had a depot there.
