He’s the bugger who’s turned down mighty England in favour of lowly Germany, that’s who.
Hunt was born in Germany but he has an English mother and therefore qualifies to play for England. The Werder Bremen forward has been looking a bit tasty this season, scoring five goals in 11 games, attracting the attention of Fabio Capello in the process. He seems set on playing for Germany, though:
I have decided to play for Germany. I have grown up in Germany and I have learned my football in Germany. I only want to play for Germany and I am not going to be tempted [to change my mind] either. Even if some members of my family would be happier if I played for England, they accept my decision.
Oh well, we still have Heskey.
Fair play to the lad, why would he want to play for England?
You have a point!
