I can find four full England internationals:
Bill Bradshaw played as a teenager for Stanley and helped them to the 1903 Lancashire Combination title. He moved to Blackburn Rovers and won five England caps as a wing-half.
Billy Watson, wing-half with Burnley, won three caps between 1913 and 1919. He played a few games for Stanley in 1925 when he was reserve-team coach.
Tom "Pongo" Waring won five caps with Villa as a striker in 1931-32, and played for Stanley in 1938-39.
Goalkeeper Jack Hacking was Stanley's player-manager in 1935, had won three caps as an Oldham player in 1928-29.
In addition Joe Walton, who was Stanley's left-back and captain 1961-62 had won an unofficial "Victory" cap against Scotland in 1946, and also played for the Football League.
