Anderlecht-verdediger James Lawrence werd maandag voor het eerst geselecteerd voor de Welshe nationale ploeg. Nochtans is hij een geboren Brit, maar via zijn grootmoeder zou hij in aanmerking komen voor Wales.
De Welshe supporters waren verrast dat bondscoach Ryan Giggs hem opriep voor de nationale ploeg. Op Twitter verschenen tal van reacties van supporters die nog nooit gehoord hadden van Lawrence. Ze lieten het niet na om de spot met de Anderlecht-verdediger te drijven.
This lad who has just made the wales squad and who I’d never heard of has had an interesting career path.

As a James Lawrence connoisseur/ expert, which I've become since his Wikipedia page twice today.. he seems to get a few goals for a defender.../defensive midfielder.
