Ikechi Anya Reveals Reasons For Choosing Scotland Instead Of Nigeria
Watford attacker Ikechi Anya says he is not regretting his decision to represent Scotland instead of the Super Eagles.<br /><br />Born to a Nigerian dad and a Romanian mom, he could have represented the two countries and England, but he chose to defend the colours of the Tartan Army.<br /><br />If manager Gordon Strachan fields him at Craven Cottage tomorrow, it would be his sixth appearance for Scotland’s National Team.<br /><br />“My love of football developed when I was in Scotland so I was always going for that - for me it was always going to be Scotland.<br /><br />“That was where I started playing football at school and where I learned everything. That was one of the main reasons I chose Scotland when I knew they were interested.<br /><br />“When I was really young I was in Nigeria but I cant remember it. I appreciate the Nigerian side from my father and the Romanian side of my mother but that is them and I chose Scotland,”Anya said to stv.tv.<br /><br />The 26 - year - old sported Scotland’s jersey for the first time last September against Belgium in a World Cup qualifying fixture.<br /><br />Photo Credit : eurorivals.net<br />
