Nine Wales players could feature against the country of their birth when Chris Coleman's side take on England at Euro 2016 on Thursday in Lens.
Captain Ashley Williams and fellow defender James Chester, midfielders Jonathan Williams, Andy King and David Edwards, and forwards Simon Church, Sam Vokes, George Williams and Wales' match-winner against Slovakia, Hal Robson-Kanu, were all born in England.
It's a trend which has been evident throughout history, with a Sky Sports study of birthplaces of international footballers revealing 123 Wales internationals were born in England.
Notable names from Wales' past to have been born in England include Vinnie Jones, Kenny Jackett and Kit Symons.
I am holding two flags - England and Wales. I will be happy with a 2-2; I'm just hoping for a good game.
England internationals born in Wales
In contrast, since the first international football match in 1872, just two players born in Wales have played for England.
Both men were born in Wrexham. The first was Fred Green, who won his only international cap in 1876 against Scotland. The other was former Liverpool right-back Rob Jones, who made his Three Lions debut in 1992 and played eight times for England.
