Griffiths represented England Under 16 before moving to Canada and joining the Senior Team of the North Americans. Grifiths scored the now famous winning goal against South Africa in the 1997 World Cup Qualifying tournament: Canada came back from a 0-4 deficit to win the game 5-4 in the last seconds and the striker ended up sitting on the cross-bar.
