I just tried to find that out too - no luck. He'd have been playing in England at the right time, and it does look like he has a son but I don't know a name.
For what it's worth, there's a post here from what appears to be Harrison Dunn's dad that lists the names in "Camp 2": https://www.instagram.com/p/DCxQ-u7ICHa/?hl=fr EDIT: Actually I just followed that through to the original post and they say the list is "not confirmed", so take it with a pinch of salt.
I don't know about Watford Zach van der. But notwithstanding the Dutch sounding surname, Arsenal Zach van der (u14 so late 2010 born left footed CB) is not AFAIK qualified to play for Netherlands. But is apparently qualified to play for Nigeria. And Nigeria are now saying that they will consider dual heritage players at age groups as young as u15 (2010). i don't know how that would work logistically. But interesting given the large number of English academy players with a Nigerian family background..
The logistics would seem difficult. It does seem more recently that Nigerian heritage players want to play for England as first choice though. Aina and Iwobi switched to them, along with a number of others before it was known if they’d ever be good enough for England.
Interesting. Just England and Nigeria to my knowledge. The surname appears to be a bit of a red herring.
See photos have emerged on Instagram showing Amir from the corrupt Ibragiimov family playing in the 2006 Anzi Makhachkala side (themselves perhaps one of the most corrupt teams ever seen in European football). Been playing for England's 2008 team. Absolute Joke again. https://www.imghippo.com/i/pBBL6872KjI.webp https://www.imghippo.com/i/STYX1628Sbg.webp
Who knows but something doesn't add up. The numberr of players in England's young teams born outside the country is bordering on ridiculous .
Why does it matter if they're born outside of England if they move here at a very young age and were (at least in large part) developed here?
because age fraud involving kids born outside the EU is becoming increasingly common in English academy football. obviously most of the kids in question will get found out as they get older and the age/size/physicality advantage disappears. but law of averages suggests a few will succeed. and the enormous potential rewards in a multi billion dollar industry make the gamble worthwhile especially if you are from a relatively poor country.
I think you'd have to be very naive to think it doesn't go on. The scale is the question. The other issue would be that it pushes legit talent out of the system.
It feels like this subject doesn’t get any or hardly any coverage from the main stream media. I mean if this is rife within academies you would have thought some serious investigations would have proceeded and testing all kids and remove those who are cheating the system.
I don't doubt it goes on, but how common is it and what substantial evidence is there? I don't think those Ibragimov photos are convincing enough, for example.
