Ireland

I heard years ago that he was eligible to play for the Republic of Ireland via his mother. Is this true?

No his Father is of Irish Descent, Paddy Coleman. Came over From Dublin and was a painter in South wales. His Mother is off Welsh and African American Descent, having been brought up by a single mother due to the fact that her father was a african american G.I soldier in the American army called down to protect the welsh coasts. Got Colemans Grandma pregnant and left. Chris colemans mother is mixed race, so cookie gets his colour from there. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.244.179.46 (talk) 12:15, 17 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Revert

I just reverted multiple edits by 2 ip addresses that messed up the formatting of the Player and Manager table. I'm not sure if the information they were trying to add was correct and/or important but the table looked really bad so I decided to go ahead and revert. Can some one more familiar with this page take a look and see if the information needs to be added in and if so format it correctly. --Deutschgirl (talk) 22:14, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
