Gavin James (born 6 January 1989) is a Vincentian international footballer who plays as a striker for Thatcham Town.[1]
He qualifies to play international football for Saint Vincent and the Grenadines through his parents, and on 10 June 2015, he made his debut against Guyana in a World Cup 2018 preliminary round qualifier.[2]
The Guyana Football Federation later protested his eligibility as he was not in possession of a Vincentian passport during the time he played against them. He did, however have confirmation that he held a Vincentian citizenship in the form of a stamp on his British passport. FIFA decided to take no action and told Guyana that "no further intervention was necessary".[3]
