TheWorm I appreciate the work you are doing but how do you know
that all these folks you posted on who were born in England are jamaicans ? I visited the socawarriors website and they dont have
a 'trinidadian abroad ' thread, instead they have a Caribbean abroad thread , most of these folks who you think are jamaicans
are not , by international law you are what your mother is .

Yes, you are what your mother is, but the thread at SocaWarriors is based only on eligibility. Many countries allow for anyone who have one grandparent born in the country to play for that team. Jason Euell, for example, qualified through his father who was born in Jamaica. They do also have a "Trinis Abroad" thread each weekend.

According to this page you only need one grandparent (page two) to play for Jamaica

For example, with Reuben Hazell, his uncle was a professional footballer born in Jamaica so I assume he must be eligible. Leon McKenzie's father was a professional boxer from Clarendon so he is too. Some players I know from being on here, some I know from Carib-Briton over at SW, and some I know from my own research. If you have any questions about certain players over there I will tell you how I know how they are eligible. The ones I am not very sure on I put at the bottom as the "maybes." The only people I post in this thread are people who have been capped and if not I put a note by their name saying they are eligible but not been capped.

I'm sure there are some in that thread who don't feel Jamaican at all and would never represent The Reggae Boyz, but they remain eligible regardless.

I think you got it all wrong , lots of those people you have
posted about are not jamaicans . Only 2 way you can be a jamaican , if you were born there or your Mother is jamaican .

Not according to FIFA...if that was the case how did Euell play for Jamaica?

Nosworthy's only connection to Jamaica his is father as well

There are many players who I don't know how they qualified to play for Jamaica, but I'm guessing some had grandparents from Jamaica as well.

EDIT: Darren Pratley qualifies through his grandparents.

let me ask you a question , how did tyrone mears qualified
to play for Jamaica ?

Technically he didn't. He thought his dad was from Jamaica (I don't think he ever knew him) and the JFF got him a passport. Then he did a DNA test or something and found out his dad was form Sierra Leone. As far as I know he's still eligible to play for Jamaica if he still has the passport he got (though he has no interest).

Thank you ! anyman can be a father but u can only have 1 mother ,
and so therefore its only logic to stick with international law
and accept those who claim heritage through their Mother !

I don't agree or diasgree, nor do I make the rules. FIFA does and they say that if your father, mother, or any of your grandparents are from Jamaica you are eligible. If they went by your rules Deon Burton never would have played for Jamaica (his mother is English and father is Jamaican).
