Matthew Etherington?

[Canary Rob]

According to (the ever reliable!) wikipedia, he was scouted aged 14 from Falmouth by Peterborough and brought over.

So it sounds like everyone was essentially right

And rich44, I think you're spot on, for footballers that Etherington has a "connection" with East Anglia is completely irrelevant.

deary me rich. are you still on that?

matt etherington is 31. he is not 21, therefore it is completely different to kyle naughton

and i never said he has a connection to norwich, merely to east anglia. i also stated i doubt its anything more than bookies trying to get the betting started.

right, well i've actually played against him at school level and he is from peterborough (or that area anyway) - its irrelevant where his old man is from! he went to school in east anglia was the point i was making, therefore he has a connection.

he was bloody good against us by the way - we were about 14 and he hit a double hattrick

i remember a few of our team were asking about him and we all made a note of the name! bit like when we played against joe cole... that game didn't go too well either

I wouldn't ever dare tell a Cornishman its irrelevant where his father is from. Very proud people the Cornish and roots are roots to them.
