@Aidan Prior: His granny on his dad’s side I believe. Watch the Jude Bellingham documentary on Birmingham YouTube channel. Shows young Jude himself sporting a mid-00′s Rep. of Ireland jersey with Eircom sponsor… possibly Steve Staunton management era. That being said not a hope he will play for Ireland with Jude already playing for England.
