  1. ^ Although Santamaría had amassed 20 caps for his native Uruguay from 1952 to 1957, he had been representing Spain in international play since 1958.[2]
  2. ^ Though more famous for representing his native Hungary in international play during the 1950s, Puskás became a naturalised a citizen of Spain in 1962.[3] He appeared in four matches for Spain during his time at Real Madrid and was listed on Spain's team at the 1962 World Cup.
  3. ^ Di Stéfano, a native Argentine, had represented both Argentina and Colombia earlier in his international career. He became a naturalised citizen of Spain in 1956, and began playing for the Spain national football team in 1957.[4][5]
