Your Lordship,
Are you sure Frank Lampard was born in Ormskirk? I thought he was born in London as his dad would have been playing for West Ham at the time of his birth in the late 70's.
Apologies Big S, it was a typo as I put the birth places in NotePad. He was actually born in Romford, Essex.
If that many are playing in the England team we may have a chance of getting somewhere this year!
Watching the news ths morning I realised that the ENGLISH team is mnaged by a foreigner??? As a foreigner wouldn't he prefer it if his home country team won? Seems strange having an English team with a foreign manager but that seems to be the norm with a lot of teams. Weird.
Quote .. "Watching the news ths morning I realised that the ENGLISH team is mnaged by a foreigner"???
I should watch the news more often then or at least pay attention when it's on. Capello has been the England team manager for over two years now ;O)
In your original post you asked how many PLAYING for England were English born. I pointed out that they ALL were which didn't seem to satisfy you so now it's the manager!!!!
To save any more inane posts I believe the secretary of the English F.A. has a Welsh mother and the tea lady at F.A. H.Q. was born in Eire ... heh! heh! heh!

Heh! heh! heh!"I believe the secretary of the English F.A. has a Welsh mother"
There you go then, bound to win
I am trying to educate myself a bit on the football as it has never intrereste me which is why I am asking what may appear to be stupid questions which is the only way I learn.
Okay next question, how many USA football players are American? I think there are only three but I am open to correction.

In response to Ian....regarding a foreign manager wanting his own nation to win,so maybe implying not giving his full.
RE jackie charlton world cup winner with England and managing Eire to actually beat his home country England!
besides regarding Capello ? The Italians are bored of winning the title! LOL...

Thank you for posting the list of where the Team members were born. I was also born in Ormskirk. Was Wayne Rooney born at home?? as there is no Hospital in Croxteth. If in Hospital, it would have been Fazakerley, or Liverpool, unless his Mum went to Ormskirk!! Ta Julia
Whiston has a hospital, which is where Gerrard was born. I do believe he was living in Huyton from birth, a few hundred yards away from me I believe. Technically, this is outside the Liverpool boundary residing in Knowsley borough.
I was better in the street though. haha
PS, Ian, I don't get your joke 'Does he have a mother?'
