West Brom's Morrison on Scotland debut: I'm English
tribalfooball.com - August 20, 2007
As he prepares to make his Scotland debut, West Brom midfielder James Morrison admits he's English through-and-through.
"I am English, but I want to kick on my career and I feel this is the best way forward for me," said Morrison, who will make his Scotland debut against South Africa tomorrow. :eek:
"I'd played for England at youth team level all the way up to the under-20 side, so it was a tough decision for me.
"I had the chance to play for the England under-21s this week, but I wanted to further my career and Scotland are giving me that chance.
"I liked the plans Alex McLeish told me he has for the team and I wanted to be a part of them. Steve McClaren never spoke to me about an England call-up and, to be honest, I didn't think it would happen soon."
If I was McLeish, I'd drop him because no matter how good a footballer he is, he's clearly too stupid to live. :)
