Clark is English, Gestede is French and Okore is Danish. Can say they are English of Irish descent, French of Beninois descent or Dansh of Ivorian descent but that's what they are.

Clark CHOSE to play for Ireland at a time when he was very highly rated indeed by those within the England set-up, which says everything about how he sees himself.
