At U Peter Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 (edited) ‘I have a grandfather who is Welsh,’ he explained. ‘Personally I feel English, even though there is an Italian side to the family too.’ Best of luck to the boy but not for Scotland, thanks.

davew Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 It's not as clear cut as that. Here's some of what he said in the other article: Jones said: “My grandpa was from Glasgow and my mum, Marie Louise, grew up in Uddingston before moving to Cornwall before I was born. “We drove to Scotland to see our family at every opportunity and that usually meant trips to Parkhead to see Celtic players train at Barrowfield and get pictures and autographs. "My uncle, Martin MacDonald, also used to take me to the astro at the Firhill Complex and we’d have a little kickabout, or I’d pester some of the bigger boys for a game with them. “I have great memories of my childhood in Scotland and I was also taken to quite a few Celtic matches by my family. It sounds like he's eligible for Scotland, England, Wales, and Italy. As a 16 year old he's old enough now to make a decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
