Gavin James (born 6 January 1989) is an Vincentian international footballer who plays as a striker for Maidenhead United FC.
He qualifies to play International football for St. 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.[1]
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".[2]
