How British is Andy Murray?

Posted on July 2, 2009 by Darren Hall

Do check out the AndyMurrayometer an indispensable indicator as to whether the tennis player Andy Murray should be described in conversation as “British” or “Scottish”.

As Murray mania sweeps the nation during Wimbledon it is clear many journalists and sports commentators are confused as to his identity status.

North of the border we tend to see or hear…..

“Britain’s Andy Murray last night lost in the first round…”
“Scotland’s Andy Murray reached the semi finals yesterday…”

Yet Fleet Street go with…..

“Scotland’s Andy Murray last night lost in the first round…”
“Britain’s Andy Murray reached the semi finals yesterday…”

Anyway have a look for yourself at www.andymurrayometer.com and cast your vote.

Infact bookmaker Paddypower is following this too and you can now bet on just how British the nation think Andy Murray is?

And have a look at this Andy Murray chatting with Channelbee owner Tim Lovejoy. Skip to [1.45] in the video to see Murray doing some extremely impressive keep-ups with a tennis ball. Isn’t it annoying how some people are naturally good at every sport? Perhaps George Burley might be interested and finally claim him for Scotland once and for all?
