How is he British with a Greek surname? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.64.188.127 (talk) 10:26, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
He is half-British, half-Cypriot. Apparently his father is/was a Greek Cypriot named Λαζαρίδης (Lazarides), who sometime in the past had moved to England. I just added the info and refs to the article. ǁǁǁ ǁ Chalk19 (talk) 18:44, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
