Yeah, and Will switching to us is a distinct possibility because the progress and favour he seemed to be afforded by Alex Ferguson has stalled due to injury and he has some goalless spells in the Championship last season. It's a big 'if' and 'maybe' but there's a strong Irish connection (Dublin father) so it is perceivable.

Didn't know that, cheers. Thought he'd only ever played for Ireland

This popped up on my Facebook feed: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10152444684827713

It's a video of Crowley scoring a nice top-corner volley during what looks like a half-time warm-up.

**tetsujin1979** · 22/08/2014, 11:46 PM

I'd seen that myself a few times, apparently it's from an U21 game. For a 17 year old to be already playing with the U21 side is impressive

Perhaps there was something in that tweet about Crowley chatting to the FAI. He is not in the first england under 18 squad of the year. He was left out of their euro under 17side last may along with Rossitor and Ojo from liverpool they are back in this one.

**Charlie Darwin** · 27/08/2014, 5:54 PM

Perhaps he's had a run-in with the English Paul Doolin.

Not just chatting, but chatting positively.

**DannyInvincible** · 29/08/2014, 12:52 PM

Crowley scored a lovely free-kick the other day:

Came across it here: http://thescore.thejournal.ie/video-...facebook_short

It states he "previously represented Ireland at underage level before switching his allegiance to England last year". Just to be clear, he hasn't formally switched association in FIFA's eyes as he had never represented us in a competitive fixture.

**TrapAPony** · 04/09/2014, 6:38 PM

Not named in any of England's underage teams.

**TheOneWhoKnocks** · 04/09/2014, 6:45 PM

Coincidentally, a former Ireland International, Sean O'Driscoll, has been appointed manager of England U-19's.

Not included in their 19s qualifier squad. Our qualifiers are in November. The matches are in waterford/wexford I think. His grandparents/cousins live in waterford so perhaps it ill be a spiritual homecoming!(going by his twitter he spent time in waterford over the summer visiting his family(his words)) Has been playing well it seems for arsenal 21s and the 19s in the youth champ league

**Olé Olé** · 04/10/2014, 3:19 PM

Am I correct in saying that Crowley has at least one parent who is Irish-born, if not two? His father, I'm almost certain, is a Déise man. Not sure about his mother.

I think his grandparents moved to england so his parents were born there but were very much brought up irish as in involved in irish clubs and the gaa . Picture of him on twitter with his young cousin back in ireland on his holidays this summer. So he certainly has strong irish family links

**Charlie Darwin** · 04/10/2014, 3:37 PM

His dad is David Crowley, ex-Coventry City, who was English-born.

Did not know that at all, at all. Presumed when they said his father played GAA that he was Irish-born. So, at the risk of getting it wrong again, his mother is Irish-born and his father could be some way 2nd generation?
