Under Sven Goran Eriksson, Danny Mills made his international debut for the English Three Lions on May 25th, 2001, as a substitute in a friendly against Mexico at Pride Park. His first start came on March 27th, 2002 in a friendly against the Azzuris of Italy.
He eventually earned a total of 19 caps without a goal for his country, all earned in games played away from the Wembley Stadium, because the stadium was under reconstruction, which is a record for an England player in the modern era.
