cplpeters1900 Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Why the hell is he eligible for Scotland, he's playing for there u21's? Never noticed this before, hes always played for england? Ive just found out that he plays U21 for England as well, and that Capello is looking at him to lead the front line in the future! So is this a Data error, cant find no record of Scottish parents?

CMOZZA Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 If he say has Scottish Grandparents or something similar then he can elect to play for Scotland providing he has had no senior international caps with England regardless of playing for the U21's, it happens to be new Law from FIFA.

Smallen Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 yes, if you'd have checked the data issues thread you'd already know all this. He has Scottish grandparents. Try looking around before making pointless threads Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cplpeters1900 Posted March 3, 2010 Author Share Posted March 3, 2010 Its not a pointless thread, i was just checking quickly, easier to start a new thread than look around at ones that are loadsa pages long, especially with a simple question like that, gawd!
