    Yeah he's described as a "local lad" on the official Watford page but he must have some Irish in him. Sounds like someone straight out of 'Into The West'.

    Does he have a brother called Tayto, boss ?

    Hopefully the new manager will keep an eye on him :)

    He sounds so irish that he probably isn't! He's probably American!

    there is a lad playing for the english team in the victory shield called John Joe - didn't catch his second name - Shelby i think.

    EDIT: Never mind, his name (according to wikipedia) is Jonjo Shelvey (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victory_Shield_2007-08)

    His Profile on the Watford website shows (as the name suggests) his nationality is Irish*:).

    *Republic Of Ireland to be more precise as I believe we have to be nowadays according to FIFA.

    Yeh they changed his profile nationality to Irish and apparantly he definitely regards himself as Irish. Most likely be in the next U21 squad.
