I've always considered him Belgian, but this calls him English... GiantSnowman 18:45, 3 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'd leave it as Belgian, most refs list him as such: here, here, here, and here. He's obviously a dual nat, and it's not surprising that an English source would "claim" him.--Ortizesp (talk) 05:37, 4 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It’s not like it’s an outlandish claim though. He was born in Belgium to an expatriate family and then returned to the UK for higher education. – PeeJay 22:54, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, his entire playing career and most of his managerial career has been in Belgium. Hasn't stepped foot in England in a footballing sense to date. Ortizesp (talk) 22:02, 12 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
He describes himself as English. That seems definitive to me.
