    - father Republic of Ireland born so Harry Kane could have played for the Republic.
    How many other England players could have played for another country due to parent/grandparents birth place or because of long-term residency?

    I think Jack Grealish and Declan Rice played for Ireland at youth level. I would imagine that all the black players would have Afro Carribean grandparents. They're good enough to play for England though so aren't going to elect to play for a lesser footballing nation.

    Sterling was born in Jamaica, and Eric Dier is eligible for Portugal.

    Owen Hargreaves, if memory serves me right. I think born in Liverpool of German and Canadian parents. Seem to remember a bit of competition between English and Germany FAs for his allegiance.

    Genuine question - how do Welsh people feel about footballers playing for them who would have elected to play for England if they were a bit better?

    So could Adam Davies. I think it must have something to do with their parents being in HM Forces and posted in Germany

    Didn’t think you qualified if you were on a base?

    This thread reminds me of the time Daniele Dicchio said "don't pick me for England because I want to play for Italy".

    And was also eligible for any U.K. country as he was born overseas to a serving armed services parent.

    That is how he qualified for wales, same with Adam Davies I believe, and also Maik Taylor, keeper for Northern Ireland.
