[edit]"Due to his dual citizenship he is currently ineligible to play for Malawi at full international level." I would have to question this assertion. I do not believe that anyone with dual nationality is banned from playing international football: maybe the FAM have a policy of not selecting players who also hold another passport, but that would be a matter of their selection policy, not TM's eligibility.

- Malawi (like Zimbabwe) doesn't (or didn't from around 1990 until very recently) allow dual citizenship, so if he has a British passport he has to renounce his Malawi one (or keep quiet about his Brtish one, which he probably needs to play for the UK national XI). The UK has no problem with dual citizenship. So it seems likely that he is ineligible to play for Malawi.

- Thanks for that, but if Malawi insist that he renounce his claim to citizenship there, presumably he does not, in fact, have dual citizenship. There is, of course, no UK national XI: he would be eligible to play for any one of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Kevin McE 01:43, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
- (I meant the England National Game XI.) I think you are probably right - he is entitled to either but not both simultaneously. 'Due to his British citizenship' would perhaps be better or some other phrasing altogether. (I think FAM would have selected him when he was with WBA if they could have done.) roundhouse 02:48, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
- PS - http://www.englandfootballonline.com/App/AppIntPlyrsUK.html gives eligibility - we need to know birth places of 2 parents and 4 grandparents. roundhouse 03:23, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
