Double Internationals

Wikipedia lists twelve men and one woman who have played both football and cricket for England. The sole woman is Clare Taylor, who was the first woman to play in World Cups at both cricket and football.

As a cricketer, Clare Taylor played in 16 Test matches and 105 One–Day Internationals. A medium-pace opening bowler, she took 14 wickets as England won the World Cup in 1993, and in 2005 she became only the second woman to take 100 wickets in ODIs.

She made her debut as a centre–half with the England women's football team against Germany in Bochum on 16 December 1990 (a 2-0 defeat). She played in the 1995 World Cup, and eventually won 25 caps.
