Bilge   34 #1 Posted June 27, 2018 Wiki etc. says Dronfield (so he's therefore not eligible for England's current Yorkshire gang). But other sources (e.g. Sky) say Sheffield (so he's a Yorkshireman).  Which is it? The family lived in Dronfield but maybe his mum went into labour when they were shopping in Sheffield so they went to Jessops. Or summat.

Calahonda   11 #3 Posted June 27, 2018 If his mother had given birth to him whilst on holiday in say Spain,it wouldn’t make him Spanish, he would take on the citizenship of his parents, and if, like many Dronfielders, his parents were Sheffielders, the same would apply.

Calahonda   11 #5 Posted June 27, 2018 He also was eligible to play for Ireland.  Big Jack’s criteria for eligibility to play for the Republic was the consumption of a pint of Guinness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

But where was he born? Is he Yorkshire-born or Derbyshire? Was it Sheff or Dronny? Northerner or Midlander?
