Which NATION could you represent?











When I lived in Newport, I was always promised a place in the Welsh rugby team - but my folks foolishly moved to Birmingham when I was 12, thereby denying me the opportunity to win fame and fortune by getting my knees muddy.

Ancestrally, though, I have no connection to Wales. England, Scotland and Ireland, but not Wales.

If birth is what counts, put me down as Yorkshire.

Roz, on the other hand, is just a tad Welsh and a little bit English (although she tends to deny that), but mainly Australian and Irish - although the Australian passport she used to travel on never took her further south than France. And her earliest Australian ancestor sailed his whaling boat there from Scotland in 1835.

My grandparents came from four different countries: England, Ireland, Scotland and France. But (with the possible exception of Scotland) I have no affinity for them, I'm not one for saying "My grandad's Irish therefore I'm Irish" so there's no way I could play for, or support, any of them.

Although both sets of grandparents had Irish roots, I was born and bred in Ing-er-lund. But despite living in Scotland for 27 years and being married to a Scot, they'll never give me a Scottish passport. :facepalm:
