    Might as well invite anyone born in France to pick a team here too.
    Good idea, but would they play for the Jersey?

        I might have dreamt it but didn’t the Welsh FA have a go at getting Le Tissier to play for us?

          Wales is the usually the best option for any half decent dual-qualified players, as they are almost guaranteed a long and fruitful international career. I've noticed a few talented young England qualified players are starting to look elsewhere too.

                      Here's one to be on. According to Wiki, almost 10% of the population of Jersey (107k) are Portuguese. It's quite an ethnically diverse place. About 25% non British or Jersey born.

                        Kieran Tieney is a good case in point, Manx born plays for Scotland.

                        My lad is Manx born, chose to represent Northern Ireland (not football) under the same rules

                          Welsh grandparent according to a Wales forum. Harris also mentioned how special playing for Wales is for him and his family in an interview so definitely some connection there

                          I read that they're trying to close the Channel Islands loophole and make them eligible for just England

                                I think it has something to do with Jersey having a team in the English pyramid, I can't really remember the exact details but it has been rumoured for a while

                                I see Jordan James has returned to the fold having been called into the u21s and was responding positively to Wales fans on Twitter. Hopefully he's back for good
