Elliot Anderson revealed the feeling of pulling on an England jersey swayed him officially pledge his international allegiance to the Three Lions after years of tussling with Scotland.
The Nottingham Forest midfielder made his England debut at any age group in the Under 21s’ disappointing goalless draw with Northern Ireland on Friday night.
Anderson has already appeared for Scotland at that level - plus three other age groups - and the rivals were going to head-to-head for the youngster’s loyalty. The Newcastle United academy graduate has now committed south of the border following talks with the FA.
