There were no Gray areas when it came to brothers Frank and Eddie representing Scotland.
But the legendary Leeds United duo’s wonderkid relative is taking his first steps to stardom with ENGLAND.
Archie Gray is a name that is already attracting interest south of the border with the teenage sensation’s exploits at Elland Road earning him a reputation as hot property.
He’s got plenty to live up to with his family name at the Yorkshire giants yet the early signs are he will take that in his stride.
However, while Scotland fans were treated to watching his grandfather Frank and great uncle Eddie it’s unlikely the Tartan Army will see the latest member of the football family pull on the dark blue.
While eligible to play for Scotland - dad and former Leeds striker Andy also picked up two caps under Berti Vogts - the prodigy is proudly pulling on the Three Lions at youth level.
He is currently in France with the England Under-16’s are competing in the Montaigu Tournament and captained them to a 1-1 draw against Holland in their opener.
Gray was also in France at the end of last year with the Three Lions in the Val-de-Marne tournament.
The classy midfielder celebrated his 16th birthday last month but had already earned himself a place on former boss Marcelo Bielsa’s bench for the first team against Arsenal, albeit due to an injury crisis.
But it was huge recognition for a 15-year-old despite not getting the call to action against the Gunners.
Leeds United director of football Victor Orta added to the hype when he said: "I n five years-time you’ll be talking about this guy non-stop.
"He’s one of those players you see every, I don’t know. I remember Kun Aguero and saying 'what is this?'. It’s something that happens once in a long time."
Gray became the youngest scorer in Premier League 2 when he netted a 35-yard screamer against Manchester United.
There is a real buzz around Yorkshire about the emerging talent with Elland Road legends Eddie and Frank who were part of a golden era under Don Revie.
Eddie played more than 450 times for Leeds United and Frank nearly 200 times with both earning international recognition.
Injury limited Eddie to just 12 caps and resulted in him missing out on the 1974 World Cup but his club exploits still saw him induced into the Scottish Football Hall of Fame in 2013.
Frank won 32 caps and featured in all three group games for Jock Stein’s side at the 1982 World Cup in Spain.
Archie’s dad Andy featured in two friendly games against Lithuania and New Zealand and had two short spells at Leeds United and was also academy coach at Elland Road.
But Archie doesn’t look like following in the family footsteps as he makes strides in the England youth set-up.
