As an English fan I would like to thank you for your kind words. But I think, really, we should be grateful to the USA for the players that have served us so well. They weren't all outstandingly successful, but most were and some have rightly earned iconic status. All showed admirable standards of commitment, enthusiasm and sportsmanship.
The tradition continues with Hyndeman and Luca De La Torre (who, with a name like that should really be a baseball pitcher or a Mafia hit man but will, hopefully, become a full international like all (I think) his countrymen who have played for us).
