Yeah born in Wales with Welsh parents and Grandparents so only able to play for Wales but he had lived in England since he was 7 so could he not have claimed English residency at the age of 12 or older, 5 years isn't it ?
Or does it not apply to someone who already as a British passport, after all both UEFA & FIFA consider England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland as seperate that being one of the reason's the different FA's aren't happy about a combined team as they think it could leed to them losing their 4 vote's.
