yep

Sorry Bluey, he isn't eligible to play for England since he has played for Guyana

He played for England U21's.

Then he's played for England!

Not first team squad. And he's never played for Guyana.

and stand corrected...2011.

TBF...he is English, but chose to play for Guyana....the question does say English players.
