Can see it being a regular occurrence. Maybe there was a lack of confidence the lad could make the step up. However since he has now become an established player in our team I suppose he has proved he can make the step up and is now more in the spot light.

I noticed the other week that Wikipedia (so it must be true) has Nathan down as English and Louis down as Welsh, as the former was born in Chester and the latter Bristol even that doesnt make sense.

Therefore in conclusion no idea!

Have you ever seen Nathan shag a sheep? Thought not, so he can't be Welsh.

Think Wiki just puts the flags up for their declared national team- Louis has clearly been called up by Wales and Nathan I believe has never accepted a call up and I think (may well be wrong) played for England at lower youth levels.

Marginally better than not playing international football, it gives average English players hope.
