Andy Gray

On 28th February 2006 it was announced that the former Crystal Palace and Tottenham Hotspur midfielder/striker Andy Gray would be joining the Sierra Leone coaching setup. It was reported that he would try to convince several English-based players to play for Sierra Leone due to their ancestry, such as Liam Rosenior, Nigel Reo-Coker, Carlton Cole and Steve Kabba. These reports appear to be true, since Watford's Albert Jarrett has accepted a call-up to the Sierra Leone squad.
