Blunders continue as organisers describe Joe Allen as English

26 July 2012 14:40
Olympic organisers are once again in trouble after describing Welsh midfielder Joe Allen as English in the official Team GB programme.

The mistake follows yesterdays humiliating incident at Hampden Park, where the South Korean flag was shown next to the North Korean women's football team.

Under the 'nationality' title in the official programme, the midfielder was listed as English despite being a full Wales international.

Compatriots Ryan Giggs, Craig Bellamy, Aaron Ramsey and Neil Taylor have all correctly been identified as Welsh in the official programme.

The Football Association of Wales, who had previously urged Welsh players not to play for Great Britain at the Olympics, has also been asked for a comment.
